EXTERNAL GRANTS

Funded

Aug 2003 Predicting individual risk of cognitive decline in women (1 R03 AG22621-01). Funded by the National Institute on Aging Small Grant Program for $74,750 (Total Costs) (Primary Investigator). The purpose of this study is to examine the interactive effects of physical activity and aerobic fitness with ApoE-4 genotype to impact the cognitive performance of post-menopausal women.

Aug 2003 Testosterone's effects on the progression of atherosclerosis in aging men (TEAAM). Funded by the Kronos Longivity Research Institute for $390,000 per year for 5 years (Co-Investigator). The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of supplemental testosterone use on cardiovascular disease risk factors in older men. This is a longitudinal study and cognition and aerobic fitness will be measured at baseline, 18 mo, and 36 mo. My role is to coordinate the cognitive testing and to contribute to papers related to the cognitive performance data.

July 2003 Does exercise exacerbate seizures in epileptics. Funded by the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Research Grants Program for $35,000 each year for two years (Collaborator). The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a bout of acute exercise on cognitive performance, mood, and seizure status in epileptic patients. My role was to design the bout of acute exercise and I will assist with all papers related to the cognitive performance data.

Dec 2000 Breast cancer survivors: Off-treatment fatigue, quality of life, and body image for active versus inactive survivors. Funded for $960 by the Women's Sport Foundation Grant (Co-Investigator). This study was designed to examine the relationship between body image, quality of life, and physical activity level in breast cancer survivors.

Nov 1999 Cross-cultural study of goal orientation and attribution in Anglo-American and Japanese athletes. Funded for $800 by the Contract Support Office of Kyushu Institute of Technology (Collaborating Investigator). The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in goal orientation and attributional styles between Japanese and American physical education students.

Pending

2004 Neuroanatomical substrates of aging and cognitive decline. R01 submitted to the National Institutes of Health for $1.9 million (Co-Investigator). The purpose of this study is to identify the baseline levels and one year declines of gray and white matter structures associated with cross-sectional, age-related differences in cognitive function; to identify the baseline levels and one year declines of gray and white matter structures associated with longitudinal cognitive declines in aging; to determine how the regional distribution and severity of brain changes associated with cognitive aging are influenced by variation in blood pressure, aerobic fitness level, and APOE genotype; and to determine how these variables predict subsequent cognitive decline.

2004 Testosterone's effects on the progression of atherosclerosis in aging men (TEAAM). R01 submitted to the National Institutes of Health for $6.3 million over 5 years (Co-Investigator). The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of supplemental testosterone use on cardiovascular disease risk factors in older men. This is a longitudinal study and cognition and aerobic fitness will be measured at baseline, 18 mo, and 36 mo. My role is to coordinate the cognitive testing and to contribute to papers related to the cognitive performance data.
