- This $285,195 project grant was awarded on August 20, 2025 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to support research on improving hypertension management through patient self-titration of antihypertensive medications. The project aims to adapt this intervention to the U.S. primary care context by assessing patient preferences, provider perspectives, and integration with electronic health records and...
- 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...
- The Project Grant award of $692,846.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will fund the "Better Heart Study" at the University of Pennsylvania. The study aims to utilize behavioral science strategies to increase hypertension diagnosis and treatment in India, where hypertension prevalence remains high and many individuals are undiagnosed or not receiving care. The project will test two scalable behavioral...
- This federal Project Grant award of $130,065 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct systematic economic analyses on the costs associated with implementing a chronic care model for patients with hypertension. The grant supports a study led by principal investigator Dr. Elaine Khoong and collaborators Dr. Dhruv Kazi, Dr. Lina Tieu, and Dr. Lisa Ochoa-Frongia. The project aims to...
- 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...
- 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...
- 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 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), aims to develop and pilot an electronic health record-based physical activity intervention to prevent progression of postpartum hypertension in women with subclinical blood pressure elevations during pregnancy. The $192,199 grant awarded to Northwestern University will fund a 5-year project focused on (1) identifying factors that influence...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $793,184 to Northwestern University to conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial. The trial will evaluate the effects of 1) automated transmission of home blood pressure values versus manual transmission, and 2) automatically-generated medical advice to patients via their patient portal versus no automated feedback. The primary outcome is systolic blood pressure at 1-year, with persistence through 18 months also assessed. The study aims to determine if these interventions can improve hypertension control, which remains a significant public health challenge. This research seeks to develop practical, digitally-enabled strategies that can be more readily implemented in routine healthcare practice compared to more labor-intensive approaches.
