His grant portfolio includes longitudinal studies and clinical trials, which aim to improve the health and well-being of dementia family caregivers, cognitively impaired older adults, and recent widow(er)s. Over the last half-decade, he has been awarded over 10 million dollars in funding for his research (mainly from the National Institutes of Health). He has authored over 130 publications and is on the editorial board for Psychological Science and Psychoneuroendocrinology. He has been the primary mentor for numerous National Institutes of Health training fellowships for graduate students (F31), post-doctoral fellows (F32), and assistant professors (K awards).
