The Minnesota Center for Eating Disorders Research (MCEDR) at the University of Minnesota conducts research on eating and weight disorders and related behaviors, across a broad range of content areas, including identifying and intervening upon risk and maintenance mechanisms of these concerns. MCEDR has conducted research in the area of eating and weight disorders since the 1970s. The program has been the recipient of several research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Minnesota Obesity Center, and private foundations such as the McKnight Foundation and Hilda and Preston Davis Foundation.
In addition to conducting high quality research, our program is committed to providing unique training opportunities in eating disorders research across professional development. As one of three sites that comprise the T32 Midwest Regional Post-Doctoral Training Program in Eating Disorders Research, post-doctoral trainees have been integral members of our team since the training grant’s inception in 2009. In addition to post-undergraduate and graduate student training opportunities, which include study coordination and assessment, volunteer research assistants gain exposure to eating disorders and clinical research through their involvement with current research projects and educational seminars.
