The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Federal Grant Program "Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders" (CFDA 93.853), awarded a $229,635 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, to develop and test a scalable, telehealth-delivered behavioral intervention that promotes self-regulation for improved blood pressure medication adherence and physical activity among post-stroke patients. The project aims to identify educational content and culturally adapt a motivational interviewing intervention, generate customized infographics, and conduct a pilot feasibility trial to optimize intervention components for improved health outcomes and reduced stroke recurrence risk. This work will support the awardee's development of expertise in behavioral interventions for stroke prevention research, with the long-term goal of becoming an independent physician-investigator in this field.
