The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) was awarded a Project Grant of $777,954.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program. The grant, titled "School-Based Policy Influences on Preconception Cardiovascular Health", aims to identify school policy interventions to improve adolescent cardiovascular health and reduce racial/ethnic disparities in maternal morbidity. The project will create a school-based adolescent preconception cohort to assess the relationship between school attributes, adolescent cardiovascular risk, and maternal health outcomes. It will also engage adolescents and stakeholders to co-design school-based solutions and test promising approaches using agent-based modeling. The findings are expected to inform actionable policies to transform school environments and disrupt lifecourse trajectories that contribute to disparities in maternal health.
