We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Development and Evaluation of An Intervention to Increase Joint Activity and Social Well-Being For Adolescents With Developmental Disabilities @ Oregon State University
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This R21 application will provide a multidisciplinary One Health approach to physical activity intervention for adolescents with developmental disabilities and their family dog. This novel imitation and synchro- nous activity based intervention integrates ?Do As I Do? (DAID) dog training into a joint activity interven- tion for adolescents and their dog, aimed at improving physical activity, quality of life and social wellbeing for children with developmental disabilities. Recent pilot work by Drs. MacDonald & Udell has revealed physical and social-emotional improvements in children with developmental disabilities following an animal assisted intervention. There has been relatively limited research focused on the physical activity of adolescents with developmental disabilities and there remains a critical need to develop strategies that will encourage an active lifestyle for adolescents with developmental disabilities. Animal assisted inter- ventions are growing in popularity, and initial reports suggest significant physical, emotional and social benefits. However there is still a great need for empirical evaluation of these practices. There is also a critical need to develop interventions that have a strong theoretical foundation that targets the specific needs of at risk populations, such as adolescents with DD. To address these needs the investigators of this project have developed the following specific aims: Aim 1: To develop and evaluate a novel DAID dog training intervention to promote physical activity in adolecents with developmental disabilities. Aim 2: To evaluate the impact of a DAID intervention on the adolectent?s quality of life, feelings of social wellbeing and the child-dog relationship.The long term goal of this research is to improve the lives of adolescents with developmental disabilities. This research supports the One Health initiative and brings together aspects of improving health related to human and animal development.

The Evaluation of a Multi-Site Novel Imitation Based Animal Assisted Intervention For Children With Developmental Disabilities and Their Family Dog @ Oregon State University
Project Summary/ Abstract This R01 application will provide a multidisciplinary One Health approach to an imitation-based physical activity intervention for adolescents with developmental disabilities and their family dog. The novel inter- vention approach includes the use of the family dog in an established dog training protocol, focused on physical activity and aimed at improving physical activity, quality of life and social wellbeing for children with developmental disabilities. The study team has tested the feasibility of this program and their preliminary findings have revealed phyiscal and social-emotional improvements in children with developmental disabilities following this animal assisted intervention. There has been relativeily limited research focused on the physical activity of adolescents with developmental disabilities and there re- mains a critical need to develop strategies that will encourage an active lifestyle for adolescents with de- velopmental disabilities. Animal assisted therapy has known positive impacts on morale and is also known to reduce depressive psychological symptoms for children and adults. Yet, traditional ?service dogs? are prohibitively expensive for many families. Dog ownership alone is known to improve health- related physical activity. Thus, a critical need exists to create physical activity interventions that are easily accessible and provide manageable home-based physical activity adherence, but that are less expensive than traditional service dogs. To achieve these goals the investigators of this project have developed the following specific aims: 1) To evaluate a novel imitation-based dog training program to promote physical activity in children with developmental disabilities; 2) To evaluate the impact of participation in an imitation-based dog-training program on the child?s quality of life, feelings of social wellbeing and the child-dog relationship; 3) To evaluation the human-animal-interaction of the child and the family dog based on participation in the program. The long term goal of this research is to improve the lives of adolescents with developmental disabilities. This research supports the One Health initiative and brings together aspects of improving health related to human and animal development.
