Project Grant K23HL177261
- This $165,364 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to integrate novel contextual and genomic blood pressure measures to enhance cardiovascular disease prediction and management in young adults aged 18-39 years. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Identifying novel ambulatory blood pressure patterns that capture dynamic responses to everyday factors and...
- 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, valued at $162,703.00 and granted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to determine whether streamlined, standardized blood pressure (BP) measurement protocols can be implemented in primary care settings. The project builds on the Alabama Cardiovascular Cooperative's Heart Health Improvement Project and seeks to improve the accuracy and efficiency of BP measurements to inform treatment decisions...
- 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...
- This $734,722 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of disclosing systolic blood pressure polygenic risk scores on blood pressure control, healthy lifestyle adherence, and cardiometabolic health among 300 hypertensive adults aged 18-55 in the United States. The study aims to evaluate whether providing individuals with information about their...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $191,777 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to support the research project "Translating Individual-Level Risks and Preferences into Personalized Blood Pressure Target Decisions". The 5-year project, led by Dr. Simon Ascher, aims to develop expertise in advanced statistical methods, patient preference assessment, and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,678, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports the development of a high-speed, wearable speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) system for cuffless blood pressure monitoring. The project aims to convert the existing benchtop SCOS technology into a wearable device capable of multi-hour ambulatory monitoring, and to test the technique in a wider range of subjects,...
- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) received a $222,750 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop a clinical decision support questionnaire to identify barriers to blood pressure control. The project aims to address the high rates of uncontrolled hypertension in the U.S., which is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. The award, with a performance period from July...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $169,444, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop and pilot test a stress management intervention for Black adults with hypertension. The project will work with patients receiving care from federally-qualified health centers to iteratively design an intervention that addresses patient preferences and aims to promote cardiovascular health. Key outcomes to be examined include...
- 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, valued at $194,722.00, is funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to support the "Guideline-Recommended Implementation of Pediatric Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (GRIP ABPM)" project led by Dr. James T. Nugent at Yale University. The objective of this research is to develop and test a multilevel implementation strategy to improve the guideline-recommended use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children and adolescents with hypertension. The award will provide mentored training to Dr. Nugent to develop his expertise in implementation science, mixed methods, clinical decision support, trial design, and cost-effectiveness analysis, as well as direct experience in prospective human subjects research. The ultimate goal is to tailor cardiovascular disease prevention to the needs of disproportionately affected populations.
