Project Grant R01HL173291
- This federal Project Grant award of $120,000.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Northwestern University aims to establish the feasibility of measuring bereavement-related stress in a naturalistic setting. The research project will investigate the day-to-day fluctuations in bereavement-related stress and the associated affective and physiological changes experienced by bereaved spouses, a population at increased risk of...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $169,444, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop and pilot test a stress management intervention for Black adults with hypertension. The project will work with patients receiving care from federally-qualified health centers to iteratively design an intervention that addresses patient preferences and aims to promote cardiovascular health. Key outcomes to be examined include...
- This federal Project Grant award of $708,678, provided by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to conduct a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) to reduce food insecurity and improve adherence in patients with hypertension. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Determining the most effective initial food insecurity intervention (resource information or community health worker...
- The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $300,000 federal Project Grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct research on "REAL-TIME EVALUATION OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION WITH MULTI-LEAD ECG MONITORING FROM WEARABLE PPG MEASUREMENTS". The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, will support the university's research efforts to advance the scientific understanding of cardiovascular health through the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support a study examining the link between stressful life events and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The $156,858 award, granted on February 1, 2025, will enable the University of Pittsburgh to utilize deidentified data from 656 healthy adults to investigate how brain and behavioral measures of negative affect and cognitive reappraisal...
- This Project Grant award of $807,067.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will support a study to pioneer the quantitative documentation of human respiratory kinematic profiles. The study aims to address a critical gap in contemporary physiological monitoring - the inability to quantify labored breathing, which contains vital prognostic information not captured by conventional monitoring. Building on a recent innovation called ARK...
- This federal Project Grant award for $696,470, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to investigate the relationship between prenatal maternal sleep and cardiovascular disease risk in offspring. The University of Denver is the primary awardee, and they have sub-awards with Northwestern University and the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Center. The key objectives are to: 1) examine how prenatal maternal sleep...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $678,710 and awarded on June 15, 2025, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The award supports the development and validation of a novel multi-sensor machine learning approach to precision sleep tracking for nightshift workers. The project aims to leverage wearable devices, environmental sensors, and machine learning algorithms to accurately detect sleep patterns...
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,678, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports the development of a high-speed, wearable speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) system for cuffless blood pressure monitoring. The project aims to convert the existing benchtop SCOS technology into a wearable device capable of multi-hour ambulatory monitoring, and to test the technique in a wider range of subjects,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $766,277 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to optimize dietary adherence in a mobile behavioral weight loss intervention for adults. The project aims to use an innovative factorial trial design to identify intervention components that can directly improve dietary adherence for participants who do not initially respond well to the standard...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded a $723,305 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Northwestern University for the "PASSPORT: PASSIVE SENSING TO PREVENT STRESS-RELATED OVEREATING IN REAL-TIME" research project. The research aims to develop wearable devices and machine learning algorithms to continuously monitor stress and overeating in real-time, with the goal of informing interventions to prevent overeating episodes and associated cardiovascular disease risks. The project will leverage a flexible wearable device and infrared camera to collect physiological and behavioral data, which will then be used to build predictive models for stress and overeating. The award period extends from September 2025 through June 2030.
