Rebecca A Gary

Rebecca (Becky) Gary is a tenured Professor. Her research has primary focused on applying a biobehavioral framework utilizing exercise interventions to better understand the underlying physiological mechanisms, improving physical and psychological symptoms, and enhancing quality of life in chronic illness populations, caregivers and individuals with advanced cardiovascular disease.  Currently, she is MPI on a Fogarty funded international training grant entitled, “Training on ImplemenTAtioN and team Science for NCD Control (TITANS).” The overarching goal of TITANS is strengthening capacity within and between higher education institutions in an urban setting, Addis Ababa University (AAU), and a rural setting, University of Gondar, in Ethiopia. The training program will prepare a multidisciplinary team of postdoctoral scholars from medicine, nursing and public health over a 5-year period.  TITANS will address vital gaps in the delivery of evidence-based cardiometabolic and renal health interventions across the lifespan using implementation science and a team science approach.
