Project Grant K01HL175108
- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) received a $222,750 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop a clinical decision support questionnaire to identify barriers to blood pressure control. The project aims to address the high rates of uncontrolled hypertension in the U.S., which is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. The award, with a performance period from July...
- This federal Project Grant award of $362,250 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to evaluate the impact of treating elevated blood pressure in the inpatient setting on patient outcomes. The project, titled "Evaluating Whether Treating Elevated Blood Pressure in the Inpatient Setting Impacts Patient Outcomes: The ACT-BP Pilot," aims to obtain key knowledge needed to conduct a larger randomized clinical trial by...
- This $734,722 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of disclosing systolic blood pressure polygenic risk scores on blood pressure control, healthy lifestyle adherence, and cardiometabolic health among 300 hypertensive adults aged 18-55 in the United States. The study aims to evaluate whether providing individuals with information about their...
- The federal Project Grant award of $535,556.00 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The funding will support a research project to investigate the role of a novel histone modification, H3T32 O-GlcNAc, in endothelial cell dysfunction and atherosclerosis. The 5-year project aims to elucidate the epigenetic features of this histone modification under...
- This $285,195 project grant was awarded on August 20, 2025 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to support research on improving hypertension management through patient self-titration of antihypertensive medications. The project aims to adapt this intervention to the U.S. primary care context by assessing patient preferences, provider perspectives, and integration with electronic health records and...
- The Project Grant award of $692,846.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will fund the "Better Heart Study" at the University of Pennsylvania. The study aims to utilize behavioral science strategies to increase hypertension diagnosis and treatment in India, where hypertension prevalence remains high and many individuals are undiagnosed or not receiving care. The project will test two scalable behavioral...
- The University of Florida received a $1,410,766 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to conduct a mixed methods comparative effectiveness analysis on the implementation of new blood pressure (BP) control technologies and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to leverage the PCORnet Blood Pressure Control Laboratory to examine the extent and variability of BP control implementation across healthcare...
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,678, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports the development of a high-speed, wearable speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) system for cuffless blood pressure monitoring. The project aims to convert the existing benchtop SCOS technology into a wearable device capable of multi-hour ambulatory monitoring, and to test the technique in a wider range of subjects,...
- This $165,364 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to integrate novel contextual and genomic blood pressure measures to enhance cardiovascular disease prediction and management in young adults aged 18-39 years. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Identifying novel ambulatory blood pressure patterns that capture dynamic responses to everyday factors and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $708,678, provided by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to conduct a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) to reduce food insecurity and improve adherence in patients with hypertension. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Determining the most effective initial food insecurity intervention (resource information or community health worker...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $162,703.00 and granted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to determine whether streamlined, standardized blood pressure (BP) measurement protocols can be implemented in primary care settings. The project builds on the Alabama Cardiovascular Cooperative's Heart Health Improvement Project and seeks to improve the accuracy and efficiency of BP measurements to inform treatment decisions and enhance BP control. Key activities include investigating the feasibility of reducing patient rest periods and intervals between measurements without compromising accuracy, as well as exploring the potential to measure BP only once for patients below hypertension thresholds. The award has an initial period of performance from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2030 and is being administered by the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a prominent research institution with extensive expertise in biomedical research and healthcare-related services.
