Daheia Barr-Anderson, Ph.D., assistant professor in Kinesiology, has just received a New Connections grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two-year grant will support Barr-Anderson's work focusing on perceived and objective environmental influences on physical activity among high school girls. The New Connections grant will complement Barr-Anderson's NIH Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) grant to study environmental influences of overweight and obesity among African American adolescent girls.
