The grant, titled "Blood Pressure Control Advancing Refugee Health Equity (BPCARE): An RCT of Adherence", aims to develop and test a behavioral intervention to improve antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), through its Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $169,992 Project Grant to the University of Colorado-Denver on September 18, 2025. The grant will fund a 5-year mixed methods study to inform initial antihypertensive prescribing and develop a patient self-titration intervention. The study aims to understand barriers and facilitators to initiating antihypertensive combination therapy versus stepped...
- This federal Project Grant award of $362,250 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to evaluate the impact of treating elevated blood pressure in the inpatient setting on patient outcomes. The project, titled "Evaluating Whether Treating Elevated Blood Pressure in the Inpatient Setting Impacts Patient Outcomes: The ACT-BP Pilot," aims to obtain key knowledge needed to conduct a larger randomized clinical trial by...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $191,777 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to support the research project "Translating Individual-Level Risks and Preferences into Personalized Blood Pressure Target Decisions". The 5-year project, led by Dr. Simon Ascher, aims to develop expertise in advanced statistical methods, patient preference assessment, and...
- This $734,722 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of disclosing systolic blood pressure polygenic risk scores on blood pressure control, healthy lifestyle adherence, and cardiometabolic health among 300 hypertensive adults aged 18-55 in the United States. The study aims to evaluate whether providing individuals with information about their...
- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) received a $222,750 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop a clinical decision support questionnaire to identify barriers to blood pressure control. The project aims to address the high rates of uncontrolled hypertension in the U.S., which is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. The award, with a performance period from July...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research CFDA program (93.837), awarded a $661,129 project grant to Northwestern University to develop and evaluate a technology-enabled strategy to optimize blood pressure among reproductive-aged women with hypertension receiving care at Federally Qualified Health Centers. The 5-year project, titled "AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD-BASED STRATEGY TO OPTIMIZE BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG PREGNANCY-CAPABLE ADULTS IN PRIMARY CARE: THE REACH-OUT TRIAL", aims to promote safe anti-hypertensive medication use and contraceptive practices to reduce cardiovascular and reproductive risks in this high-risk population. The project will leverage electronic health record-based clinical decision support, patient education materials, home blood pressure monitoring, and a patient portal to achieve these objectives.
