Our goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of a multi-modal lifestyle interventions with standard survivorship care. 07/01/2017-6/30/2021 Sponsor: National Institute of Minority Health Disparities Racial Differences in Treatment with Hysterectomy: a Multilevel Investigation

Direct costs: $2,404,268

Since the 1980s, hysterectomy, or surgery to remove the uterus, has been extremely common and marked by large racial differences. On the other hand, cancer-reducing surgical innovations during hysterectomy, like prophylactic removal of fallopian tubes, may spread more slowly among racial/ethnic minorities. Analyzing thousands of medical records, we will evaluate what’s driving these racial differences: medical need or the culture of healthcare?

A trans-generational e-intervention for gestational diabetics and their offspring Sponsor: NIDDK Direct cost: $275K Role: PI We will use a mixed-methods approach to develop and preliminarily test the efficacy of a web-based pregnancy and postpartum intervention for gestational diabetics and their offspring. Maternal outcomes are change in glycosylated hemoglobin and postpartum weight loss. Infant outcomes are infant birth weight and weight and length z scores. Secondary maternal outcomes include gestational weight gain and postpartum insulin resistance, as measured by HOMA-IR. 1/30/2013 - 12/31/2014 The Mother-Daughter-Sister Study: Implementing interventions for Female Survivors of Obesity-Related Cancers and Child-bearing Age women Sponsor: North Carolina Cancer Fund PI: Shelly Earp Direct cost: $50K Role: PI Subproject This project will use a mixed methods approach to develop and implement a post-treatment lifestyle intervention for survivors of obesity-related cancers. In Phase 1, we will ascertain female cancer survivors’ (postmenopausal breast, colorectal, endometrial) preferences and preferred components of a lifestyle intervention following treatment. In Phase 2, we will conduct a pilot trial to determine feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and acceptability. 7/1/08-6/30/11 Upstream Maternal Risk Factors and Early Childhood Growth Sponsor: American Diabetes Association (08-CR-44) Total Direct- $ 510,000 Role: Principal Investigator This project examined the independent effect of pre-gravid dietary intake and physical activity on early childhood growth (weight-for-age and weight-for-height) from birth to age 2. 2/10/09-9/30/2010 Identifying Research Needs in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Evidence Report Sponsor-Agency for Health Care Quality Total Direct - $250,000 PI: K Robinson (Johns Hopkins) Role: Co-investigator In-person multi-stakeholder meeting to inform research priorities in the management of uterine fibroids 07/1/05-06/30/2010 Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology Training Grant 5T7607001 Sponsor: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Total Direct Cost- $1,813,238 Principal Investigator- Donna Strobino Role: Co-investigator

The objective was to train graduate students in data collection, design and conduct of epidemiologic studies focused on mothers and children and analysis of important maternal and child health outcomes. 10/1/09-9/30/09 Comparative Effectiveness Research Needs on Management of Uterine Fibroids Sponsor-Agency for Health Care Quality Total Direct - $250,000 PI: Dan Champion, Center for Medical Technology/Outcomes, Inc., DEcIDE, Role: Co-investigator 10/1/2004 – 08/31/2009 In-person multi-stakeholder meeting to inform research priorities in the management of uterine fibroids Parity, Inflammation, Gestational and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 1K23 DK-067944-01 Sponsor- National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease Total Direct Cost- $124,150 Role: Principal Investigator Percent effort: 44%

The proposal involved three inter-related projects to estimate the effect of reproductive factors on the development of gestational and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objectives are to 1) estimate the effect of parity on development of type 2 diabetes, examining physiological pathways to explain this association using two population-based data sources: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and the National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES) Study; 2) estimate the predictive value of first trimester adipocytokines levels in the subsequent development of gestational diabetes; and 3) describe and examine the pattern of adipocytokine levels during pregnancy and glucose tolerance. 01/01/06-12/31/07 Postpartum Interventions to Promote Postpartum Weight Loss in Women at High Risk for Development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 7-05-CR-22 Sponsor- American Diabetes Association Total Direct Cost- $157,153 Role: Principal Investigator

The objectives of this proposal were to 1)develop postpartum-specific weight loss interventions for women who are at high-risk for the development of type 2 diabetes later in life; 2) implement the intervention in an urban-based setting and test the feasibility and efficacy of the weight loss intervention in a 6-month randomized trial. We focus on women who are obese based on pre-gravid body mass index or who develop gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. 11/15/06-11/15/07 Evidenced-Based Guidelines for Labor and Postpartum Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Contract #290-02-0018 Sponsor- Agency for Health Care Quality Total Direct Cost- $250,000 Role: Principal Investigator

The objective was to conduct a systematic and quantitative synthesis of the literature on 4 primary clinical dilemmas in the intrapartum and postpartum management of women with gestational diabetes: 1) synthesize data from randomized trials for treatment options for hyperglycemia during pregnancy; 2) elective cesarean versus expectant management for gestational diabetes; and 3) post-delivery screening for type 2 diabetes in women with a history of gestational diabetes. 01/1/04-12/31/06 Pilot Study of Inflammation and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Clinicians Scientist Award Total Direct Cost - $15,000 Role: Principal Investigator This pilot project included the recruitment of women in the first trimester to examine the pattern of adipocytokine levels as a preliminary study for development of a larger prospective cohort study. 1/1/02-12/31/04 Health Services Utilization and Health Status in Pregnancy Sponsor- American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society Total Direct Cost - $300,000 Role: Principal Investigator The objectives of this proposal were to 1) describe health care utilization among women with gestational diabetes mellitus; 2) examine and compared health-related quality of life in women with normal pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes.

01/01/00-12/31/04 Evidenced-Based Screening and Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Sponsor: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Total Direct Cost: $324,000 Role: Principal Investigator This proposal involved three inter-related projects to examine evidenced-based practices for screening and management of pregnancies with gestational diabetes. The objectives are to 1) conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the 4 primary screening methods for gestational diabetes and 2) compare maternal and infant outcomes of women undergoing routine care and women with a nurse case manager.
