As a physical activity epidemiologist, I have guided many NIH research studies in the areas of both physical activity assessment and intervention. Most notably, I led the development of the physical activity component of the US Diabetes Prevention Project (DPP) lifestyle intervention as part of the national DPP Lifestyle Resource Core and also served as the PI of an NIH funded investigation of activity/inactivity in the entire DPP cohort using both subjective and objective (accelerometer) measures. In the past, I had maintained a similar role for several other multi-center and single site
studies. With a passion towards prevention, I now focus on translating the DPP’s successful behavioral lifestyle intervention into the public health arena. As PI, I am currently writing up the results of our highly successful NIDDK grant involving the translation of the DPP’s effective behavioral lifestyle intervention into several diverse community settings ranging from senior centers and the worksite to the military. My current research as PI is an NIH funded investigation examining whether the health of sedentary, overweight people can be improved with a program initially focusing on decreasing the amount of time they spend sitting, rather than starting with an emphasis on increasing the amount of time they spend participating in physical activities.
Service is another area in which I invest a lot of time. A large part of my service is spent as a faculty member for the Diabetes Prevention Support Center, which successfully translated the DPP intervention into a version more appropriate for community use like the Group Lifestyle Balance. Due to the success of the CDC-recognized GLB, the DPSS provides training and support in lifestyle intervention efforts in diverse communities the world-wide and has trained over 3,500 health care professionals on the GLB. Much of my service efforts, including local and national committees and task forces, focus on underserved populations in which prevention efforts are most needed. Above all else, I am a very committed and effective advisor/mentor for students, serving as the primary advisor and committee chair for 16 doctoral students, 22 master’s students and 11 post-doctoral trainees as well as co-mentor to many others. In addition, I informally and formally mentored many junior, mostly minority, faculty members across the country and guided them until they achieved the status of associate professor.
In 2017, I was awarded the University of Pittsburgh’s Provost’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring for outstanding mentoring of graduate and post-graduate students seeking a research training.My experience in prevention/translation research extends from early observational efforts to intervention trials and ranges from efficacy to effectiveness. Armed with the knowledge provided by these efforts, I am passionate about taking this knowledge into the health care setting for the purpose of maximizing reach and effectiveness to all including those from underserved populations.
