- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Ohio State University $236,250 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on August 15, 2026, as a Project Grant (R21HL184279). The award funds secondary analysis of right heart catheterization data within the PVDOMICS cohort to phenotype right ventricular dysfunction across the pulmonary hypertension spectrum. The research will quantify right ventricular function including contractility, afterload, diastolic...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) within the National Institutes of Health awarded The Ohio State University $121,658 on June 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate how inflamed adipose tissue modulates vascular inflammation through adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles. The funded research decodes the role of adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicle cargo in promoting cardiovascular disease risk in obese populations. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Ohio State University $729,984 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on July 22, 2026. The award funds development of a three-dimensional real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (3D RT CMR) reconstruction framework for imaging patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The proposed unsupervised reconstruction method, called Generative Prior with Multi-Dynamic Modeling (GEMM), enables highly accelerated 3D RT...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center $161,500 on August 20, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support planning activities for a future multisite cluster randomized trial on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy prevention in safety-net clinics. The award funds a preparation phase to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementation intervention...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island $244,569 on July 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a single-site randomized controlled trial piloting the feasibility and efficacy of postpartum enalapril treatment for cardiovascular protection in women with a history of preeclampsia. The trial will enroll women within the hospital's remote blood pressure management program to assess whether...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Kaiser Foundation Hospitals' Kaiser Foundation Research Institute $1,470,439 on September 15, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate optimal physical activity timing and 24-hour activity composition for prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The research addresses gaps in understanding how the timing and intensity of physical activity during pregnancy—particularly early versus...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Ohio State University $1,574,578 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop novel targeted modified mRNA delivery strategies for donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation. The research addresses primary graft dysfunction (PGD), an ischemia-reperfusion injury occurring in approximately 35 percent of heart transplants and driven by hyper-inflammatory responses involving...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Oregon Health & Science University $2,141,996 on September 15, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop and implement Community Vital Signs (CVS) strategies for identifying undiagnosed hypertension in Nigeria. The project adapts community-based screening interventions to increase blood pressure screening among adults over 18 years of age and connect patients to primary care for hypertension...
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded The Ohio State University $170,964 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on August 15, 2026, to characterize hypertension after pregnancy through patient-centered research. The project, titled CHAPTER (Characterizing Hypertension After Pregnancy Through Patient-Centered Research), addresses postpartum hypertension affecting over 18% of women in the first postpartum year and associated with a threefold increase in lifetime cardiovascular mortality risk. The research identifies biopsychosocial profiles of peripartum risk associated with de novo postpartum hypertension, elucidates patient experiences and preferences regarding postpartum cardiovascular health promotion, and develops and pilots a self-management support intervention to improve cardiovascular disease risk awareness and health promotion among postpartum individuals. The investigator will employ machine learning and journey mapping methodologies to inform future programs addressing the gap in scalable, patient-centered primary care models for postpartum hypertension management. Performance occurs in Columbus, Ohio through July 31, 2031. This is a Project Grant, an assistance type supporting investigator-initiated research under NIH peer review. The award is classified as a K23 mentored patient-oriented research career development award supporting junior investigators transitioning to independent research careers.
