Project Grant R01HL180855
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $818,279 to Brigham & Women's Hospital, a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System, to conduct research on improving the subtyping and characterization of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The project will leverage data from existing research cohorts and a clinical biobank to quantify the reproducibility of OSA severity markers and derive physiologically...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $248,088 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct a mechanistic study on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with comorbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), referred to as overlap syndrome (OVS). The central hypothesis is that poor cardiovascular outcomes in OVS, compared to COPD or OSA alone,...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $816,472 project grant to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS). The grant, awarded on August 1, 2025 and set to conclude on May 31, 2029, aims to enhance cardiovascular risk prediction and treatment response in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients using advanced AI-based transformer models and multi-modal sleep data. The project will...
- This $782,473 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to improve understanding of the pathogenesis of sleep apnea using novel imaging techniques during sleep. The project aims to characterize the site and pattern of airway collapse as well as how upper airway anatomy mediates this collapse, which could provide new insights to guide optimal therapies, particularly for patients who cannot tolerate...
- This federal Project Grant award of $115,125.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the interaction between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and HIV infection on ventricular repolarization abnormalities. The research will be conducted by the University of Miami from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2027. The goal is to delineate the independent and interactive effects of OSA and HIV on QT variability...
- This federal Project Grant award of $761,028 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research will support a multi-site prospective study on hypoxemia during sleep in adults with sickle cell anemia (SCA). The study aims to examine the prevalence, clinical impact, and response to treatment of sleep-related hypoxemia in this patient population across four institutions, including both urban and rural sites. Key activities will involve...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA program 93.837 "Cardiovascular Diseases Research", awarded a $1,270,508 Project Grant to the Northern California Institute for Research and Education, Inc. (NCIRE) on September 20, 2025. The grant funds a project titled "Improving Identification of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Women" that aims to: 1) Identify health factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea in women using electronic health records and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), provides $450,000 in funding to Old Dominion University to investigate the relationship between disturbed sleep and the development of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. The primary objectives are to: 1) examine the role of NADPH-dependent oxidative stress in accelerating the formation of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $644,687 to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on a neural circuit in the brain that contributes to hypertension associated with obstructive sleep apnea. The research aims to determine how this "orexin-CRH-NTS" circuit facilitates the peripheral chemoreflex and leads to sympathoexcitation and hypertension,...
- This $764,853 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Yale University supports research to understand the role of arousal threshold (ARTH) as a determinant of adherence and outcomes for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The research aims to validate ARTH as a biomarker to guide precision OSA therapy, as poor adherence and inconsistent impacts on neurocognitive and...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to elucidate the complex relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The $1,296,660 award supports a 24-month research project that will employ a "bed to bench" approach integrating clinical, computational, and in vitro techniques. Key objectives include developing and validating a mathematical model to quantify OSA-induced tissue hypoxia and correlate it with clinical outcomes, as well as optimizing in vitro microvascular and cardiac models to directly study the cardiovascular impacts of intermittent hypoxia associated with OSA. The research will leverage data from large-scale sleep study databases to inform and validate the models. The project is being conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
