This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will support the development of a telemedicine intervention to improve hypertension management for Black patients. The $156,576 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will be used by the prime awardee, Wake Forest University Health Sciences, to tailor a telemedicine-based hypertension management approach to better serve the needs of Black patients. This effort aims to overcome challenges associated with clinic-based hypertension care, which has been less effective in achieving blood pressure control for Black patients compared to majority-White patient populations. The telemedicine intervention is designed to provide more time for self-management support and leverage home blood pressure monitoring to improve diagnostic accuracy and medication titration.
