Recent Grant Awards

Congratulations to Dr. Ginger Nicol who was recently awarded an R34 from the National Institute of Mental Health for her project:"Interactive Obesity Treatment (iOTA) for Obesity Prevention in Serious Mental Illness (iOTA-SMI)" (NCT03695289, PI: G. Nicol).

The purpose of this study is to adapt and pilot a scalable, sustainable, prevention-focused iOTA for use in the broad community mental health center (CMHC) population of at-risk persons with eSMI. The goal of this study is to measure feasibility, acceptability, tolerability, and target engagement, exploring effects on change in body weight from baseline with iOTA-eSMI compared to control.

The initial work for this project was supported by the CDTR Pilot & Feasibility program.
