Research Centers Center for Exercise Science
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.” Albert Einstein
Thirteen research laboratories make up the Center for Exercise Science, and each one is dedicated to improving human health by advancing knowledge through research. Specifically, this multidisciplinary research center investigates the basic mechanisms that underlie exercised-induced changes in the body at the organ, tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. Additional projects involve relearning movements after stroke, maintaining optimal health in Parkinson’s and Autism patients, and delaying age-related declines in physiological function. Center Director: Scott Powers
College of Health and Human Performance
Addictive and Health Behaviors Research Institute This Institute is dedicated to developing efficacious strategies for preventing harm and promoting health among youth. Located in Jacksonville, the Institute evaluates and creates strategies for urban, suburban, and rural populations. We are dedicated to improving the health, well-being, and positive development of children, adolescents, and young adults who are most vulnerable to harm caused by addictive and other health damaging behaviors. Center Director: Chad Werch
Florida Center for Health Promotion The primary goal is to identify, develop, and disseminate knowledge on health promotion and disease prevention. Focus is on innovative health education strategies that promote and support healthy lifestyles for individuals and communities. Center Director: Barbara Rienzo
Center for Tourism Research and Development Conducting research on the tourism industry, tourism destinations, and related tourism businesses provides a basis for city, county, state, and country officials to make tourism decisions. Our leading scholars conduct tourism planning and develop policy statements for communities, private companies, and organizations. Center Director: Brijesh Thapa
Letter from the Dean
I
am pleased to provide you with this annual report of the research productivity in the College of Health and Human Performance. Much thanks to Dr. James Cauraugh, Associate Dean for Research, and his assistant Ms. Dorothea Roebuck for their work on this publication through the college’s Office of Research. Thanks also to the many faculty in the college who are asking important questions in their research programs and seeking answers in profound and novel ways. Our research makes a difference. The research of our faculty makes a difference in the lives of others. Whether it is understanding the factors influencing oral health in migrant workers in Florida, or examining the health impact of heat stroke on athletes or the elderly, or analyzing the continuing legacy of Olympic cities — the kind of research done by faculty researchers in CHHP makes a difference in health and lifestyle of people in Florida and around the world. We know our research makes difference because students come from all over the globe seeking to study with our faculty. Our growing graduate programs are a testament to the active and internationally recognized research programs of our faculty. Graduate students regularly work in research labs and programs sponsored by our faculty. In addition, many graduate students are participants in the publication process with their faculty mentors and it is now unusual for doctoral students to leave the college without a major research publication in their portfolio. We know our research makes a difference because it is published in some of the best journals in the world. A recent analysis of college faculty publications found that over two-thirds of the publications by college faculty are in the top 25% of journals of their disciplines. In addition, we know their work is impacting other research around the world because our faculty members are being cited by other leading researchers. Finally, we know our research makes a difference because it is funded by organizations like the National Institutes of Health, the International Olympic Committee, the American Heart Association, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and NASA. The research work of our faculty is nationally competitive and is regularly funded by external agencies such as these who believe in the work of our faculty. In fact, our faculty researchers are externally funded at a rate that exceeds most faculty groups throughout the university. This report will give you an idea about the breadth and depth of the research in CHHP. I hope you enjoy reading it and I invite you to visit the college and talk with our researchers. I think you will conclude as we do — that our research makes a difference! Sincerely,
College’s Grant Expenditures Grant expenditures as a function of the past five fiscal years show that our college has increased expenditures from $2.7 to $5.2 million. Our college is an exception to the decreased expenditures that are reported by other colleges on campus.
