June Lee, doctoral student in the School of Kinesiology, has been awarded a 2016-17 SHAPE America Graduate Student Research Grant. The $2500 grant will be used to conduct a study examining elementary school children’s physical activity and psychosocial beliefs in mobile application-based physical education classes. Lee is advised by Zan Gao, Ph.D., assistant professor of behavioral aspects of physical activity and director of the School’s Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory. The SHAPE America Graduate Student Grant Program, sponsored by the Society of Health and Physical Educators, has awarded over $600,000 in funding since its inception in 1997. Last year, grants were awarded to just four graduate students across the country.
