DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this workshop series is to develop innovative methods of assessing physical activity in preschool age children that can be used in natural environments. The workshop format will draw upon the expertise of internationally recognized scholars and will synthesize expertise from two of the University of Illinois campuses from fields of computer engineering, social media, kinesiology, community health, family health, neuroscience, child development, child care, health disparities, parks and recreation, and public health. Four separate day and 1/2 long workshops will be held over two years to systematically integrate theoretical frameworks across disciplines. Regularly scheduled conference calls will support team building with the goal of collaborative grant submissions. The proposal aims: 1. To develop models of physical activity measurement for diverse groups of children between three and five years of age that can be applied in urban and rural settings. Practical models will be proposed by teams of investigators that can be used for future grant proposals aimed at studying and promoting physical, cognitive, brain, and social-emotional health in vulnerable children (e.g., low income, minority, children with disabilities). 2. To form new partnerships among investigators with expertise in computer engineering, social media, kinesiology, community health, family health, child development, child care, health disparities, parks and recreation, neuroscience, and public health in order to create new measurement techniques of physical activity in young children in their natural environments (home, child care, neighborhoods, parks). 3. To extend the capabilities of existing research and training programs focusing on children's health including a MPH/PhD program (Illinois Transdisciplinary Obesity Prevention Program (I- TOPP), STRONG Kids Obesity Research Program, Fit Kids Afterschool Program, and the Hip Hop to Health Program. Graduate students across several training programs will be included in the workshops and conference calls to promote the next generation of health researchers.

描述(申请人提供)：本系列研讨会的目的是开发可在自然环境中使用的评估学龄前儿童体力活动的创新方法。研讨会的形式将借鉴国际公认学者的专业知识，并将综合伊利诺伊大学两个校区的专业知识，这些专业知识来自计算机工程、社交媒体、人体运动学、社区健康、家庭健康、神经科学、儿童发展、儿童保育、健康差距、公园和娱乐以及公共卫生等领域。将在两年内举办四个单独的为期一天和一年半的研讨会，以系统地整合各学科的理论框架。定期安排的电话会议将支持团队建设，目标是协同提交赠款。该提案的目的是：1.为3至5岁的不同儿童群体开发可在城市和农村环境中应用的体力活动测量模式。研究小组将提出实用模型，可用于未来旨在研究和促进弱势儿童(例如，低收入、少数族裔、残疾儿童)的身体、认知、大脑和社会情绪健康的赠款提案。2.在具有计算机工程、社交媒体、运动机能学、社区健康、家庭健康、儿童发展、儿童保育、健康差距、公园和娱乐、神经科学和公共卫生等专业知识的研究人员之间建立新的合作伙伴关系，以创造新的测量幼儿在其自然环境(家庭、托儿所、社区、公园)中的体力活动的技术。3.扩展以儿童健康为重点的现有研究和培训计划的能力，包括公共卫生/博士计划(伊利诺伊州跨学科肥胖预防计划(I-TOPP)、强壮儿童肥胖研究计划、健身儿童课后计划和嘻哈健康计划。几个培训项目的研究生将参加研讨会和电话会议，以促进下一代卫生研究人员的发展。
