The award funds Dr. Countouris's career development as an independent physician-scientist and clinical trial leader in cardio-obstetrics. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Emory University $100,228 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct longitudinal research examining associations between sleep health, protective factors against psychosocial adversity, and stress-related biomarkers including allostatic load and epigenetic age acceleration. The project analyzes multidimensional sleep health—encompassing regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing,...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded the Massachusetts General Hospital's Research Management Division $842,536 on August 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the mechanisms linking gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to increased coronary artery disease risk in women. The research integrates longitudinal electronic health records data spanning approximately 30 years postpartum for more than 208,000 women with GDM...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded New York University's Long Island School of Medicine $201,744 on June 5, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support Dr. Arabadjian's progression from mentored researcher to independent investigator focused on cardiovascular health promotion among socially vulnerable mothers of young children. The award funds a career development program combining structured training in clinical trial design,...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded Boston Children's Hospital $171,600 on September 1, 2026, under CFDA 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to support career development and mentored research in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea diagnostics. The award funds the recipient investigator's training in three areas: predictive modeling and machine learning, advanced physiological signal analysis, and implementation science for translating research into clinical...
The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded Mainehealth $187,235 on August 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support Dr. Isha Agarwal's mentored patient-oriented research career development award focused on night shift work, sleep, and women's perinatal and cardiometabolic health. Dr. Agarwal, an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Mainehealth with a dual appointment at Tufts University School of Medicine, will conduct a five-year integrated training and research program. The research plan aims to identify socioeconomic predictors of night shift work during pregnancy, determine the impact of night shift work pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy on cardiometabolic adverse pregnancy outcomes independent of socioeconomic factors, and characterize barriers and facilitators for requesting and granting night shift work accommodations among pregnant night shift workers and employers. The work employs a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach leveraging detailed shift work and pregnancy outcome data from the Nurses' Health Study II occupational cohort, supplemented by new qualitative research. Dr. Agarwal's training will emphasize perinatal and reproductive epidemiology, sleep and circadian disruption, qualitative research methods, and translating scientific evidence to occupational health practice. Performance occurs in Portland, Maine. The award period runs through July 31, 2031.
