| Title | Redox Regulation of Phagocyte NOX2 in Inflammation and Aging |
| Status | Active |
| Period | 7/2010 - 6/2014 |
| Role | Principal Investigator |
| Grant Detail | The goals of this project are to characterize the molecular signaling pathways by which hydrogen peroxide activates superoxide generation by phagocyte NOX2 and assess the aberrant regulation of this pathway associated with aging. |

| Title | Institute for Integration of Medicine & Science (CTSA Administrative Supplements) |
| Status | Active |
| Period | 9/2009 - 9/2011 |
| Role | Co-Investigator |
| Grant Detail | This CTSA Administrative Supplement supports four individual supplemental projects. The first, comprising Collaborative Community Engagement Research, uses community health priorities to identify curricular needs, create novel teaching materials to address those needs, and effectively improve health science education in public schools, focusing on community health needs per se, as well as scientific processes of community health assessments and community-based research. The second project, Enhancing Pilot Projects, represents an exciting opportunity to accelerate the pace of translational research through the funding of carefully selected competitive pilot projects, capitalizing on a group of highly meritorious proposals that have already passed rigorous peer review and are poised for immediate implementation. The third project in Translational Research will build on our primary care Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) to accelerate the translation of clinical research into practice. We will enhance the ability of PBRN investigators to conduct research by implementing the NIH/NCRR Roadmap-funded ePCRN (electronic Primary Care Research Network) in 20 clinics within our primary care PBRN, including ten that primarily serve uninsured populations. The fourth project in Translational Research will accelerate programs being supported by the CTSA Imaging Core, which is operated by the Research Imaging Center (RIC). The supplement will expand the number of translational imaging experts supporting the Imaging Core functions and enhance funding for the developmental project funding program. |
