Biography

Dr. Ric Rosenkranz completed his baccalaureate degree in psychology and human development and family life at the University of Kansas, and his masters in psychology at the University of North Dakota. He then completed a second masters in Kinesiology (health promotion emphasis) and a PhD in Human Nutrition at Kansas State University. From 2008-2010, Dr Rosenkranz worked as an assistant professor of human nutrition and served as the co-director of the Youth Health Behavior Research Lab at Kansas State University. His research work has been financially supported by The Sunflower Foundation and United Methodist Health Ministry Funds. Dr. Rosenkranz's research projects are focused on understanding the modifiable determinants of children's physical activity and dietary habits, and the evaluation of multi-level interventions that are based on modifiable determinants and designed to impact parents and children to promote physical activity and healthful eating in the home environment and beyond.
