The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $1,415,112 project grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to evaluate a telehealth-delivered adaptive intervention for improving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy adherence and health outcomes in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The project aims to: 1) compare effects of motivational enhancement, device support, and...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will fund research to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its subtypes in primary care clinics, as well as develop efficient tools to identify OSA risk and subtypes. The total award amount is $740,271 with a project period from August 2024 to June 2029. The prime recipient, The Ohio State University,...
This federal Project Grant award of $332,862.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program, will support research to assess night-to-night variability in novel sleep disordered breathing severity metrics and their impact on daytime functioning. The study aims to characterize reliable biomarkers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, as the current standard measure (Apnea-Hypopnea Index) underestimates...
This federal Project Grant award of $752,991 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program supports a comprehensive study to understand the socioecological factors impacting disparities in early childhood sleep health. The project aims to evaluate the effects of understudied risk factors like racism, housing insecurity, screen media use, and toxic stress on child sleep health, as well as assess how socio-cultural,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will fund a 24-month clinical observational feasibility study to examine dental practitioners' oral appliance therapy (OAT) titration methods and outcomes for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The $449,861 award will support the recruitment of 10 dental practitioners and 60 OSA patients within the South Texas Oral...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $711,226 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the impacts of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the brain. The objectives are to: 1) examine regional brain temperatures in OSA patients compared to controls; 2) assess whole-brain metabolite and antioxidant levels in OSA and controls; 3)...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,107,276 to Lasarrus Clinic And Research Center Inc. to develop a mobile health system for remote monitoring of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The project aims to enhance patient adherence to remote monitoring and early symptom recognition, in order to reduce COPD readmissions and healthcare costs. The system utilizes a wearable...
This Project Grant award of $133,410 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, sleep apnea, and cardiac aging. The study aims to leverage longitudinal sleep data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study to assess how impaired sleep patterns accelerate cardiovascular disease risk over a 12-year period. The research will focus on...
This federal Project Grant award of $725,088 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to optimize the effectiveness and implementation of COPD self-management treatment. The primary goal is to conduct a factorial optimization trial among 448 individuals with COPD to evaluate the impacts of treatment components including self-management education, physical activity, and inhaler training on respiratory-related hospitalizations and...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $1,602,357 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to KDH Research & Communication, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Atlanta, GA. The grant funds the development and evaluation of the "Personalized Approach to Habits-Sleep" (PATH-S) mobile app, which aims to improve sleep duration and asthma symptoms for Black teenagers aged 14-17 with asthma.
