Amy L. Ai, Ph.D., professor in the College of Social Work and a Faculty Affiliate with the Institute for Successful Longevity, has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to study resilience of older patients with advanced heart diseases undergoing open-heart surgery.

Working with Ai will be Yaacov Petscher, Ph.D., associate professor in FSU’s College of Social Work and associate director of the Florida Center for Reading Research; and Susan S. Smyth, M.D., Ph.D., chief and professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Kentucky. The team will evaluate the long-term survival effect of psychological character strengths in an existing cohort of older patients, assessed before open-heart surgery over 16 years ago.
