Current Funded Research Projects

1.Assessing Urban-Rural Environmental Stress Inequities in ADRD through Ecological Momentary Assessment (AURESIA)

Role: PI

Description: This study aims to identify and understand the role of environmental stressors in the development of Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) and related health inequities across urban and rural populations.

Funded by: NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (R01 NS139192)

2. A just in time mobile stress intervention for cancer survivors

Role: Co-PI (Jordan & Johns)

Description: Participatory co-design and testing of a acceptance and commitment therapy based mobile application intervention.

Funded by: Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI)

3. Examining the daily stress of mid-life adults in the built and natural environment

Role: PI

Description: Utilizing our custom built STRIVE ecological momentary assessment app to determine where and when stress occurs for mid-life adults (aged 50-64) in the built and natural environment

Funded by: NIH National Institute on Aging (R21 AG077333)

Scholarly Interest

Dr. Jordan's research focuses on the experience of psychological and physiological stress as it happens in the built and natural environment. He utilizes novel mobile applications (apps) and wearable technology to measure and intervene upon stress through ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and intervention (EMI).
