Subject: [Prevscilist] Grant award announcement!

Hi folks,

Please join in me in congratulating Maggie Osa for her receipt of the highly competitive Drs. Rosalee G. and Raymond A. Weiss Research Innovation Grant from the American Psychological Foundation. These funds will be used to investigate culturally-sensitive psychological and social factors, beyond appearance and weight concerns, that may be relevant to disordered eating behaviors among African American women. This grant opportunity supports research, education, and intervention projects that use psychology to solve social problems. Given that many deleterious health conditions that disproportionately impact African American women have been linked to disordered eating, the ultimate goal of this project is to help generate ethical and culturally responsive health promotion intervention efforts.

Congratulations, Maggie! The data from this project will really enhance our conceptualizations of disordered eating in this underrepresented population.

Have a great weekend folks,
