The research leverages a healthcare claims dataset encompassing approximately 6.5 million births during the...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $471,196 to Aurora Health Care, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine how weather-related barriers affect primary care utilization in older adults with chronic conditions. The recipient will quantify the impact of inclement weather—including extreme temperatures, high heat index, and heavy...
- The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $2,306,030 on September 13, 2025, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to conduct research on hypertension retention and cardiovascular risk reduction among people with HIV who use safety-net clinics. The recipient will conduct an explanatory sequential study combining quantitative survey data and qualitative contextual...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Geisinger Clinic $3.379 million on September 25, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to characterize the relationship between extreme heat exposure and cardiovascular and pulmonary outcomes and identify health system intervention strategies in the context of climate change. The research will systematically assess how heat intensity, latency, and duration prompt or exacerbate acute events in asthma and...
- This Project Grant award from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program provides $372,713 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct a national-scale assessment of the impact of extreme heat events and wildfires on patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the associations between exposure to extreme heat events and hospitalization/mortality...
- The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded the University of Texas at Arlington $1,316,481 under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) on June 29, 2026. The project develops a measurement instrument to assess daily experiences of social stress and their immediate psychological and behavioral effects, and investigates associations between stress-related daily social experiences and risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease....
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $409,750 on August 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the mechanisms by which recurrent heat stress-induced dehydration injures kidney function in aging and aged mice. The research will test whether repeat heat stress accelerates age-related kidney functional decline, whether it exacerbates pro-inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory immune cell ratios...
The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $134,730 under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) on July 29, 2026, to support community-engaged research on heat preparedness among patients with chronic health conditions. Dr. Chandanabhumma, an early career researcher, will conduct mixed-methods research to adapt and test a community health worker–led intervention designed to enhance preparedness for extreme heat events among low-income patients with heat-sensitive chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. The research includes three specific aims: characterizing the experience, facilitators, and challenges of improving extreme heat event preparedness among community health workers, patients, and other key constituents of community health centers; collaboratively developing an adapted community health worker–led intervention to enhance preparedness; and determining the intervention's acceptability, feasibility, and effect on heat preparedness behavioral outcomes. The research also includes training aims aligned with building the investigator's expertise in extreme weather event preparedness research and community health center partnerships, supporting his long-term goal of becoming an independent investigator conducting community-engaged research to promote health outcomes amid increased extreme weather events. Performance of research occurs at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The award period extends from July 29, 2026, through December 31, 2030. The assistance type is a Project Grant, classified as a K01 early-career mentored research award.
