Direct Costs (total): $39,640 Role: Co-PI; with Foreman, B Pending Career Development Award (CDA-2) 2017-2022 Funding Source: Department of Veterans Affairs, RR&D Title: Protective Step Training in People with Multiple Sclerosis Purpose: Understand the whether long-term protective step training can improve protective stepping in people with MS.

3 In addition, we will determine whether cognitive function or structural neural connectivity can predict the degree to which individuals improve protective stepping through training.

4 Direct Costs Proposed: $40,000 Proposed effort: calendar Role: Co-PI; with Fling, B National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) Research Grant 2017-2020 Funding Source: NMSS Title: Gaze and postural stability in persons with MS at risk for falls: Characterizing deficits and response to treatment Purpose: The purpose of this RCT is to characterize the impact of task specific gaze and postural stability training on balance, dizziness, and vestibular function in people with MS. Direct Costs Proposed: $458,000 Proposed effort: calendar Role: Co-I; with Dibble, L R21 Funding Source: NIH Title: Elevation of the center of mass to improve balance in older adults Purpose: The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand whether elevation of the center of mass via weighted vests during daily activities could improve balance in older adults.

5 Direct Costs Proposed: $280,096 Proposed effort: calendar Role: Co-I (PI: Dounskia) Lundbeck Research Grant 2017-2019 Funding Source: Lundbeck LLtC Title: Effect of L-DOPS on falls among Parkinson s disease patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Purpose: Understand the effect of an anti-hypotension medication on gait and balance in people with PD Direct Costs Proposed: 350,000 Proposed effort: calendar Role: Co-I (PI: Lieberman) Completed Career Development Award (CDA-1); (Award #I01BX007080) 2014-2016 Funding Source: Department of Veterans Affairs, RR&D Title: Effect of levodopa on postural motor learning in Parkinson disease Purpose: Understand the degree to which people with Parkinson s disease improve protective stepping responses after repeated postural perturbations ( simulated trips), and the effect of levodopa on these improvements.

6 Direct Costs: $160,983 Role: PI Early Clinical Investigator Award 2014-2015 Funding Source: Medical Research Foundation of Oregon. Title: Postural motor learning in Parkinson's disease: Effects of levodopa Purpose: Characterize the performance and improvement of protective stepping between healthy young, healthy old, individuals with Parkinson s disease. Direct Costs: $19,971 Role: PI 1 R01 AG00645729 2014-2019 Funding Source: National Institutes of Health Title: Peripheral and Central Postural Disorders in the Elderly This is the first study to relate integrity of the brain s postural/locomotor circuits to objective measures of Updated: December 2016 balance and gait disorders in patients with idiopathic Parkinson s disease compared to patients with Frontal Gait Disorders ( , vascular parkinsonism).

7 This project will improve our understanding of the role of the frontal cortex in balance and gait and how cognitive impairments relate to postural disorders with the goal of improving mobility rehabilitation in the elderly. Role: Postdoctoral Trainee (PI: F Horak) TL1RR024995: Training grant to Washington University in St. Louis 2010-2013 Funding Source: National Institutes of Health The goal of the TL1 is to support the research training and career development of clinical and translational investigators to conduct multidisciplinary research with scientists from diverse disciplines. The purpose of this specific project was to characterize the behavioral and neural underpinnings of freezing of gait in people with Parkinson s disease.
