The award funds a multicenter prospective study measuring physical activity recovery in children who survive acute respiratory disease requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Regents Of The University Of Colorado (University of Colorado-Denver) $169,225 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support a K23 career development grant. The award funds Dr. Rochelle Cason-Wilkerson's research into targeted intervention and process strategies (TIPS) to enhance health outcomes and reduce attrition in preschool-aged children with obesity. The research adapts an existing...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Massachusetts Medical School $173,929 on August 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support a Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) for Dr. Goulding's training and research in cardiovascular disease prevention and management in youth with hypertension. The award funds training, mentorship, and research development for Dr. Goulding, an assistant professor and behavioral...
- The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston $1.575 million on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to examine how movement-related anxiety affects physical recovery and activity levels in women following major acute cardiovascular events. The research will recruit 489 women aged 18 or older hospitalized for acute cardiac events and treated with percutaneous...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston $153,063 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop and evaluate a multi-component implementation strategy for increasing physical activity in pre-kindergarten classrooms. The recipient will develop classroom-based physical activity interventions—specifically physical activity breaks (PABs) and physically active lessons (PALs)—targeting individual- and school-level barriers that prevent pre-kindergarten teachers from effectively delivering physical activity instruction. The work includes three training objectives to build investigator independence: gaining knowledge of the early childhood education system and early childhood development support; enhancing proficiency in community-engaged research; and improving skills in clinical trials and mixed-methods research. The study aims to develop an implementation strategy to increase PAB and PAL use, evaluate its feasibility and preliminary effectiveness for increasing students' physical activity, and develop and validate a measure of implementation fidelity. Dr. Craig leads the research with a mentorship team including Dr. Maria Fernandez (primary mentor, implementation science), Dr. Bijal Balasubramanian (co-mentor, implementation science), Dr. Tricia Zucker (co-mentor, early childhood), and Dr. Timothy Walker (co-mentor, school-based physical activity research). Performance occurs in Houston, Texas through August 31, 2031. The award is a Project Grant (assistance type K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award equivalent structure).
