The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $167,398 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to implement and evaluate the Paramedic Evaluation for Acute COPD Exacerbation (PEACE) intervention. This 5-year project aims to test and refine a prototype PEACE intervention to manage acute COPD exacerbations in community-dwelling adults, complete a pilot randomized controlled trial, and evaluate the implementation of the PEACE intervention using the PRISM framework. The grant will support UMass Medical's research to develop and validate a mobile integrated health program that deploys trained paramedics to proactively manage COPD exacerbations and prevent severe episodes and emergency care utilization.
