University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University to share $10 million NIH grant to study mind-body relationships

relationships for health;

  • Focusing on older adults with osteoarthritis (OA), researchers will determine if OA patients and their spousal caregivers experience greater health benefits from an educational intervention targeted at both rather than just at the patient;

  • Doctors will examine women's perceptions of stress, their attitudes and coping responses as well as physiological reactions to the stress in their lives as potential markers of risk for cardiovascular disease; and

  • Researchers hope to learn whether psychosocial interventions can be designed to enhance adjustment and lower recurrence and mortality among women with early- vs. late-stage breast cancer and to find out the psychological, behavioral and biological mechanisms through which the interventions operate.

    In addition to providing support for research projects, the Mind-Body Center also will offer training for health care professionals and researchers through summer institutes, lectures and small grants to stimulate new research projects. Supporting the work of the center are cores for data management, measurement and statistical resources and biological assessment. The center is funded by the NIH from October 1999 until September 2004.

    The other four centers being funded in this unique NIH initiative include the University of Michigan School of Public Health, Department of Epidemiology, Ann Arbor, Mich.; University of Wisconsin Letters and Sciences, Department of Psychology, Madison, Wis.; University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Psychology, Coral Gables, Fla.; and Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Columbus, Ohio.
