- 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 $100,998 project grant awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) aims to evaluate the effects of universal pre-kindergarten (pre-K) access policies on the cardiovascular health of approximately 28 million parents of young children in the United States. The study will leverage the National Health Interview Survey to examine how parenthood, universal pre-K, and...
- 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...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded a $133,125 project grant to Northwestern University under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the relationship between early life social determinants of health, epigenetic changes, and young adult blood pressure levels. The overarching goal is to identify potential epigenetic mechanisms that mediate the association between social determinants and the development of hypertension, a key risk factor for...
- This federal Project Grant award of $727,080 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the neurogenic mechanisms underlying psychosocial stress-induced cardiovascular disease and postpartum depression. The primary research objective is to delineate how stress-evoked mitochondrial dysfunction in the medial prefrontal cortex contributes to postpartum cardiovascular and behavioral changes. The 4-year project,...
- This $275,196 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research at the University of Chicago investigating the impact of adolescent reproductive health factors on the risk of cardiometabolic disease in young adult women. The project aims to analyze longitudinal data from the Pittsburgh Girls Study to examine associations between adolescent pubertal development, sexual health, and pregnancy history with...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded a $156,486 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Denver. The 5-year grant, running from July 2, 2025 to January 5, 2027, will support research examining the association between discrimination reported during pregnancy and cardiovascular disease risk in mothers 3-4 years postpartum. The study will use a prospective longitudinal design with a population of at least 200...
- This Project Grant award of $229,245 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will support research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to: Develop a multi-item demographic variable survey module to better measure demographic characteristics and self-identity across different subgroups, addressing gaps in existing data collection methods. Evaluate the association between demographic variables and cardiovascular risk factors....
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is for a study titled "Psychosocial and Cultural Determinants of Cardiometabolic Health Among Older Chinese Americans". The $721,720 study aims to investigate how psychosocial stress and sociocultural factors affect cardiometabolic health in older foreign-born Chinese Americans over a 4-year period. Key focus areas...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $696,945 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the crossover effects of adolescent stress on parent cardiovascular health. The research aims to identify how adolescent daily stressors can affect parental cardiometabolic risk and inflammation, two key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The 5-year project will use data from 3 unique parent-child dyad samples to examine socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and sex disparities in these crossover stress effects. This research is critical for developing interventions to reduce the impact of adolescent stress on parental CVD risk, which disproportionately affects minority and low-income populations.
