Branscum selected as Society of Behavioral Medicine mentor
Paul Branscum, professor in the Department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health, has been named a mentor in the Society of Behavioral Medicine’s Bridging the Gap Research Award program.
The program pairs early-career professionals with established fellows of the society to advance research and career development. Branscum, who holds fellow status in the organization, was matched with Yuliana Soto, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Soto’s project, Disentangling Cognitive and Emotional Self-Regulation Mechanisms Among Adolescents: A Mechanistic Study of the RESPIRA+ Mindful Movement Program, earned her a 2025–26 Bridging the Gap Research Award.
Branscum will provide mentorship to Soto as she develops her research and pursues future projects.
