Administrative Responsibilities and Roles of as Deputy Director of West Virginia Prevention Research Center (WV PRC)

Overview: My responsibilities in the WV PRC include leadership activities, tracking/evaluation, communication/dissemination, and research support.


• Leadership o Assist the Director and Managing Director with strategic planning for PRC,

including vision building and fiscal planning. This includes networking with state and national public health professionals, organizations, and agencies to enhance PRC visibility and credibility. Represent the PRC in various contexts at the request of the director as needed.

• Tracking and Evaluation

o Oversee the collection and entry of data and information necessary for reporting PERS information to CDC through RedCap.

o Maintain a database of PRC research activities.

• Communication and Dissemination o Lead the research dissemination function of the PRC. Work closely with the

Managing Director on to disseminate research findings and promote/enhance the visibility of PRC and its accomplishments at university, state and national levels.

o Represent the PRC and its accomplishments and products both in and out of the institution including at local, state, regional and national venues.

o Work with Managing Director and other staff to oversee the content of the WV PRC website and social media.

• Research Support o Identify and facilitate submission of funding opportunities for PRC investigators

and other stakeholders. o Collaborate with researchers and clinicians within the PRC, HSC, and other

appropriate agencies for the purpose of developing joint programs and multi-disciplinary projects.

o Increase the visibility of the PRC and its academic partners by facilitating scholarly manuscript writing for publication and dissemination to a variety of academic and community audiences.

o Identify and facilitate research opportunities for student engagement, training, and support roles within the PRC.

RESEARCH STATEMENT

My research focuses on testing theory-based interventions to prevent chronic disease through inter-disciplinary team science and the creative application of new and existing technologies. My expertise is in the use of guided imagery as a mind-body technique to assist with health behavior change. Guided imagery is the controlled visualization of goals and aspirations and is important in the regulation of human behavior. My research publications reflect ongoing efforts to creatively deliver this behavior change technique using various delivery modalities that include in-person, telephone, social media, and mobile health (mHealth) applications.


Given that many behavioral risk factors for chronic disease cluster together (i.e., poor diet, exercise, and smoking), I am particularly interested in testing interventions that simultaneously address multiple health behaviors. These efforts are exemplified by publications 3, 5, 9, 12, and 13 below plus ongoing testing of the PregPal mobile health (mHealth) application for overweight and obese pregnant women.
