Research Support
This group supports the work of researchers who are studying various aspects
of childhood obesity. It also provides consultation to would-be funders
and investigators as to the scientific merits of proposals for new research.
The mission of the Research Support Working Group (RSWG) is to support the research
endeavors of CLOCC members and organizations. This will be accomplished
in many ways. The RSWG is the forum for research information exchange
and networking in CLOCC. The RWG is developing and maintaining a library
of measures of diet and exercise that can be used by researchers in varied
contexts to enhance study comparability. The RSWG will provide a column
on current medical literature relating to childhood obesity which will
appear in the CLOCC newsletter and on the RWG web page. The RSWG will
provide consultation on developing study proposals, as feasible, and
develop a handout that will summarize the proposal evaluation approach
that CLOCC uses so our member groups can use this in planning evaluations
of their projects. The RSWG will develop and maintain a survey of ongoing
research and evaluation projects. The RSWG will develop a process for
reviewing and commenting on research proposals that are being developed
by members and other WGs. Please join the RSWG listserv to learn more,
exchange information, and become involved.
Co-Chairs: Angela Odoms-Young, PhD and Yolanda Suarez-Balcazar, PhD
