The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $673,581 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Ochin, Inc., a nonprofit healthcare technology company based in Portland, Oregon. The grant, awarded on March 1, 2025, will fund a project titled "EQUITABLE: Equity in Treatment for Asthma Between Latinos and Whites" which aims to assess disparities in asthma care between Latino and non-Hispanic white adults and identify the social determinants of health contributing to these disparities. The project will leverage Ochin's extensive electronic health record data and community-level social determinants information to conduct this research over the award period ending on December 31, 2028. The findings are expected to inform policy decisions, drive strategic partnerships, and guide clinical efforts to improve asthma care access and utilization among Latino-American populations.
