This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research is for a study titled "Improving Physical Activity Participation in Latinas with Mindfulness." The $722,190 award to Brown University aims to optimize an evidence-based physical activity intervention by integrating components from mindfulness-based stress reduction for Latina women who do not initially meet physical activity guidelines. The study will evaluate stress as a mechanism for improving adherence to physical activity, as well as assess the longer-term cardiovascular health benefits. Brown University has awarded a sub-grant of unstated amount to The Miriam Hospital Lifespan Division to oversee IRB requirements, provide consultation on physical activity protocols, and assist with data analysis and manuscript preparation.
