The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded $742,459 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, on August 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The recipient is conducting a comprehensive epidemiologic study evaluating treatment optimization among people with cystic fibrosis in the era of highly effective modulator therapy. The study leverages the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry linked to healthcare databases covering individuals insured by Medicaid or commercial insurance through Carelon Research to examine the impact of reducing conventional CF therapies such as inhaled dornase alfa and hypertonic saline, and to evaluate the safety profile of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), a CFTR modulator now used by approximately 80 percent of the CF population. The research addresses knowledge gaps regarding longer-term consequences of reducing conventional therapies, particularly for individuals with advanced lung disease, and potential adverse effects of ETI including liver dysfunction and mental health issues. The award has a period of performance through May 31, 2030, with place of performance in Newark, New Jersey. Rutgers is a child entity of the broader university and operates within the Robert Wood Johnson Health Sciences organizational structure, conducting applied research in biomedical and health services domains with heavy NIH concentration across multiple institutes.
