Keeley Pratt, Associate Professor, Human Sciences
This project will extensively phenotype a large cohort of youth at-risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D), as they transition through puberty, and characterize the course of dysfunction in pathophysiological indicators that lead to T2D. The knowledge gained from this study of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of youth-onset T2D with deep biochemical, clinical, and psychosocial phenotyping will critically inform the design and testing of future treatment and prevention approaches.

Donald Fuzer, Early Head Start Principal Investigator
The Ohio State University’s Early Head Start Partnership Program provides high-quality early childhood education for children birth through age four who live in households experiencing poverty. We also provide comprehensive support to families in a two-generational approach that supports families in socio-economic mobility. The funds from this expansion will enable 189 Head Start slots to be added to the program, which currently serves 263 Columbus children and families enrolled in Early Head Start, a more than 70% increase in children served.

Shayne Piasta: Optimizing Early Phonological Awareness Instruction to Support Reading and Spelling Acquisition $3,270,223
Shayne Piasta, Professor of Literacies, Literatures, and Language ArtsShayne PiastaReading difficulties continue to be a pervasive public health issue. Many children, particularly those from marginalized populations, experience reading difficulties due to underdeveloped phonological awareness – and, specifically, phonemic awareness. Our long-term goal is to optimize phonological awareness intervention as a means of preventing reading difficulties and disparities. Our short-term goal is to complete two randomized controlled trials that inform such optimization through addressing current scientific controversies around the content, timing, and goals of phonological awareness intervention.
