  • Baltimore, MD

Dr. Falvey’s published scholarship and grant funding has focused on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for older adults recovering from disabling hospitalizations, such as those for orthopedic surgery, critical illness, or hip fracture. The overall focus of Dr. Falvey's work is to reduce disparities in healthy aging in place among older adults. This work is currently supported by federal, foundation, and institutional funds. Dr. Falvey is the second physical therapist ever to be awarded a $1.1 million Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders in Aging Career Development Award (K76) from the National Institute on Aging, which supports a large scale initiative focused on understanding and address neighborhood-level barriers to community mobility among older adults recovering from fall-related traumatic injuries like hip fracture. He uses quantitative epidemiological and health services research methods, qualitative methods, and community-participatory approaches to address research questions important to the Baltimore community and more broadly older adults and their caregivers. 

Dr. Falvey is also the co-principal investigator with Dr. Jasmine Travers (NYU) on a 2 year, $150,000 grant from the The Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation to evaluate neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and the resultant impact on nursing home staffing and resident outcomes. Dr. Falvey is also a co-investigator on two additional studies funded by the NIH NHLBI and PCORI evaluating post-acute care use, care transitions, and patient-centered outcomes for older survivors of heart attacks and hip fractures.
