The University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $705,383 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant will fund a mixed methods comparative effectiveness analysis to evaluate trends and disparities in the utilization of telehealth and home blood pressure monitoring, estimate the causal effects of telehealth implementation on blood pressure control, and identify clinics with resilience in blood pressure management. The research aims to learn from the natural experiment of pandemic-driven changes in hypertension care delivery to guide more effective and equitable practices. The study will leverage the PCORNET Blood Pressure Control Laboratory to track implementation of new technologies and strategies, extract data, and conduct descriptive and causal analyses. Findings will be disseminated through stakeholder webinars, conference presentations, and publications. The grant period runs from March 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029.
