Project Grant K23HL175227
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research CFDA program (93.837), awarded a $661,129 project grant to Northwestern University to develop and evaluate a technology-enabled strategy to optimize blood pressure among reproductive-aged women with hypertension receiving care at Federally Qualified Health Centers. The 5-year project, titled "AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD-BASED STRATEGY TO OPTIMIZE BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG PREGNANCY-CAPABLE ADULTS IN...
- This Project Grant award of $751,124 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Kaiser Foundation Hospitals supports research focused on the prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), which affect 10-15% of pregnancies and are risk factors for future cardiovascular disease in women. The key objectives are to explore the timing and intensity of physical activity, as well as the optimal 24-hour activity composition including...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $793,184 to Northwestern University to conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial. The trial will evaluate the effects of 1) automated transmission of home blood pressure values versus manual transmission, and 2) automatically-generated medical advice to patients via their patient portal versus no automated feedback. The primary outcome is...
- This federal Project Grant award of $130,065 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct systematic economic analyses on the costs associated with implementing a chronic care model for patients with hypertension. The grant supports a study led by principal investigator Dr. Elaine Khoong and collaborators Dr. Dhruv Kazi, Dr. Lina Tieu, and Dr. Lisa Ochoa-Frongia. The project aims to...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $639,165 project grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Washington University to develop an equitable and accessible wearable device for continuous calculation of blood loss for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with disturbing racial disparities in the U.S. The research aims to create a non-invasive, light-based sensor system that can...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will fund research to understand disparities in the incidence, outcomes, and post-partum care of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The $502,069 award to Mayo Clinic, a non-profit academic medical center, will quantify the moderating effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on the relationship between urban/rural status and HDP. The research...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $2,559,308 to examine the impact of severe pre-eclampsia on heart function in diverse racial groups of women. The project will evaluate heart function at delivery and at 6- and 12-months postpartum, as well as characterize the cardiomyopathic genetic profile of the participants. A sub-award of undisclosed amount has been issued to...
- 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...
- 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), aims to develop and pilot an electronic health record-based physical activity intervention to prevent progression of postpartum hypertension in women with subclinical blood pressure elevations during pregnancy. The $192,199 grant awarded to Northwestern University will fund a 5-year project focused on (1) identifying factors that influence postpartum physical activity and motivate women to engage in physical activity to lower blood pressure, (2) developing and refining intervention messaging, and (3) testing the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a pilot randomized controlled trial. The project, titled "REACH BP: Remote Physical Activity Intervention for High Blood Pressure Postpartum," aims to address the critical public health challenge of postpartum hypertension and the need for novel, widely disseminated strategies to promote physical activity and prevent hypertension progression in the first year after childbirth.
