The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: 1) Conducting new advanced implementation research using the NHLBI-funded Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Federal Grant Program for Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837), provides $123,104 to Emory University to conduct research on factors contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidities in persons living with HIV (PWH). The key objectives are to: 1) assess relationships between the metabolome, lipidome, HIV reservoir, and subclinical CVD, analyzing differences by sex; and 2) determine...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has awarded a $648,073 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct the ADHINCRA study, which aims to address hypertension care in Ghana and Nigeria. The project will implement a multilevel intervention that integrates home-based blood pressure monitoring, team-based care with nurse training, and simplified hypertension treatment protocols to improve blood pressure control in...
This Project Grant award of $646,561 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports a study to evaluate the impact of a peer-navigation strategy on improving tuberculosis (TB) and HIV treatment adherence and outcomes among individuals in Uganda. The study aims to adapt and implement a multi-component peer-led TB education and adherence counseling intervention, and conduct a cluster-randomized trial to assess...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying HIV-associated hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The $641,960 award, granted to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences), will fund research to investigate how HIV-derived proteins, specifically the Tat protein, contribute to the development of...
This $565,250 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant supports a 5-year longitudinal study led by Duke University to characterize the effects of host-microbiome interactions on pulmonary function in a cohort of 500 adults with and without HIV in Botswana. The study will utilize advanced multi-omics techniques, including shotgun metagenomic sequencing, host...
