PROJECT SUMMARY The Administrative Supplement to my Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01AG064146) will provide additional support to my long-term career objective of becoming an independent investigator who specializes in improving diet practices and preventing chronic disease development in high-need groups, including those with food insecurity and older immigrant adults. Some choice-based food pantries in the U.S. are transitioning to online ordering. This transition is significant because online ordering may increase the use of food pantries overall and increase food security, potentially via increased self-efficacy and reductions in wait times and stigmatization. In addition, potential improvements in food security may vary by age group, given key differences in barriers to food pantry use among younger versus older food pantry clients. To our knowledge, however, there have been no evaluations of the transition to online ordering in food pantries. Building on the research and training goals of my K01 award, the specific aims of this Administrative Supplement are: 1) Determine whether the transition to online ordering at a choice-based food pantry network in New York City influences food security status among low-income adults using a natural experiment design; and 2) Determine whether there are differences in outcomes by age group. We will accomplish these aims by recruiting 386 low- income adults aged >18 years from Met Council's Kosher Food Network, including 193 clients who visit a food pantry on the cusp of transitioning to their Digital Choice Food Pantry System and 193 clients who visit a client- choice food pantry not transitioning to online ordering (controls). The findings from the proposed research will support the development of a novel approach to improving food security and healthy food choice in a high- need population, while still being within the scope and timeline of the Parent Grant. This supplement will also build on the training plan of the Parent Grant, enabling me to enhance my understanding of: 1) aging and health, 2) behavioral economics, 3) experimental research methods, and 4) survey design; and, uniquely, 5) provide training in community-partnered research methods, which is important for the sustainability and significance of my research agenda. The proposed supplemental aims will also support my transition to scientific independence and, importantly, strengthen my future applications for competitive funding.

项目摘要 我的指导研究科学家发展奖（K 01 AG 064146）的行政补充将 为我成为一名独立调查员的长期职业目标提供额外的支持， 专门从事改善饮食习惯和预防高需求群体的慢性疾病发展， 包括那些粮食不安全的人和老年移民。美国的一些食品储藏室。 正在向网上订购过渡。这种转变意义重大，因为在线订购可能会增加使用 提高食品储藏室的整体质量，并可能通过提高自我效能和减少等待来提高食品安全 时代和耻辱。此外，粮食安全的潜在改善可能因年龄组而异， 年轻与老年食品储藏室客户之间使用食品储藏室的障碍差异。据我们所知， 但是，没有对食品储藏室向网上订购过渡的情况进行评价。基础上 研究和培训的目标，我的K 01奖，本行政补充的具体目标是：1） 确定在纽约市的一个基于选择的食品储藏室网络中向在线订购的过渡是否 使用自然实验设计影响低收入成年人的粮食安全状况; 2）确定 不同年龄组的结果是否存在差异。我们将通过招募386名低- 来自大都会理事会犹太食品网络的18岁以上收入成年人，包括193名访问食品的客户 在过渡到他们的数字选择食品储藏室系统和193个客户谁访问客户端的风口浪尖上的储藏室- 选择食品储藏室没有过渡到在线订购（对照）。拟议研究的结果将 支持开发一种新的方法，以提高粮食安全和健康的食物选择， 需要人口，同时仍然在父母补助金的范围和时间轴内。该补充还将 在父母补助金的培训计划的基础上，使我能够加强对以下问题的理解：1）衰老， 健康，2）行为经济学，3）实验研究方法，4）调查设计;以及，独特的，5） 提供社区合作研究方法方面的培训，这对可持续性很重要， 我的研究议程的重要性。拟议的补充目标也将支持我过渡到 科学的独立性，更重要的是，加强我未来的竞争性资金申请。
