The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $162,000 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Connecticut. The grant will fund a 12-week proof-of-concept study testing a technology-delivered mindful walking intervention to reduce stress, increase physical activity, and lower blood pressure in Black women with hypertension. The project aims to address disparities in hypertension and physical activity rates among Black women, a population disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease. The study will gather insights from focus groups, develop the intervention, and conduct a feasibility test with 30 participants. Findings will inform the design of a future efficacy trial. This project aligns with the NHLBI's mission to support research that advances scientific understanding and interventions for cardiovascular health.
