Diet-genetic interactions: Absorption and metabolism of phytonutrients from different brassica vegetables
This collaborative research between The Ohio State University and US Department of Agriculture aims to characterize the biological response of cancer biomarkers to dietary exposure of plant foods, including Brasicca vegetables, blackberries, and garlic in humans. Human intervention studies will be conducted with naturally occurring constituents of the test food or component, including fruits, vegetables, and edible plant materials (e.g., spinach, Brassica vegetables, and soybeans). Outcomes will include biomarkers of cancer risk.

Need, assessment, planning and evaluation services for OhioMHAS transition age youth project (Part 3)
Ohio State University’s Results Management Team (RMT) has submitted a formal proposal to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) to facilitate need, resource and readiness assessment, and planning and evaluation for a federal planning grant designed to improve treatment access and quality of services for transition age youth (ages 16-25) with substance use issues and/or co-occurring disorders. RMT proposes to finalize the formal planning process implemented to develop recommendations for changes in policy, programming and workforce preparedness and recommendations to leverage and/or re-align funds to support integrated, comprehensive behavioral health approaches to ensure equal access to behavioral health of all Ohio transition-age youth.

Archiving the cross-national equivalent file
The “Facilitating the use of Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) Data” will support, enhance, and expand the Cross-National Equivalent Files (CNEF). The CNEF is a compendium of panel data from eight countries. It is a cooperative effort of individuals and institutions that, as of 2016, compiles panel survey data from eight countries that include the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), UK British Household Panel Study (BHPS), Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA), Korea Labor and Income Panel (KLIPS), Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Study-Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE), Canadian Survey of Labor and Income Dynamics (SLID), German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), and Swiss Household Panel (SHP). The CNEF harmonizes data common to two or more of the countrybased surveys, allows researchers access to both the harmonized and original data, provides all harmonization algorithms, and focuses on some of the most successful nationally representative ongoing longitudinal micro-data sets in the world. This project will update CNEF with new data releases and will develop documentation and dissemination tools that will increase the use of the data and make it easier for both the scientific, policy, and general public communities to share in and find out about the results of research using CNEF data.

Effects of ketone supplementation on physical and cognitive performance
The primary objective is to determine the impact of acute ingestion of a ketone supplement containing beta-hydroxybutyrate salts on metabolic and performance parameters in healthy individuals. The primary outcome variables will be metabolic responses to exercise (e.g., substrate oxidation, circulating metabolic and hormonal responses), cycling and cognitive performance. Since keto-adaptation resulting from several consecutive weeks of nutritional ketosis induced by dietary carbohydrate restriction is associated with profound metabolic adaptations, it is likely that ketone supplements may act differently in the context of a person who has made these adaptations. Therefore, in follow-on studies we will perform the same experiments in individuals who are keto-adapted.
