To date, this research has been supported by 16 NIH grants and has resulted in over 300 peer-reviewed publications. Currently, her research teams are testing the impact of a vegetable gardening intervention among cancer survivors across Alabama, and a web-based diet (weight loss) and exercise intervention entitled AiM, Plan and act on LIFestYles (AMPLIFY) among older survivors of obesity-related cancers across the United States.
