She was co-PI for FIRST: Food Insecurity Responses, Solutions, and Transformation during COVID-19, an NSF-funded RAPID grant that aimed to understand how families\u2019 food practices have shifted as a result of COVID-19 and identify the processes that buffered some families from food insecurity but not others. She was co-PI of Health Matters, a CDC-funded initiative that promoted healthy eating and places to be active in four North Carolina counties and also co-PI for Voices into Action: The Families, Food, and Health Project, a USDA- and Russell Sage Foundation-funded longitudinal study of the family food environment (2012 \u2013 2020).<\/span><\/p>\n
