- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Duke University $136,646 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on September 19, 2025, to conduct a K01 Career Development Award examining sex differences in barriers and predictors of physical activity participation during and following cardiac rehabilitation. The award is structured as a Project Grant with performance through August 31, 2030, at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The recipient will...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded University of California, Los Angeles $236,250 on June 1, 2026, to develop an integrated psychotherapy intervention targeting posttraumatic stress disorder in cardiac patients, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The award funds development and pilot testing of Cardiac Fears Treatment (CFT), a streamlined intervention combining trauma-focused and interoceptive exposure therapies to address cardiac...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $1.272968 million on September 9, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate sex-dependent regulation of cardiac cyclic AMP, excitation-contraction coupling, and arrhythmia by phosphodiesterases. The research addresses autonomic dysregulation and aberrant intracellular signaling in both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston $794,406 on July 1, 2026, for a Project Grant (R01HL181234) to optimize and evaluate an implementation strategy to improve use of classroom-based physical activity approaches in elementary schools. This award is funded under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The recipient will develop and refine a multifaceted implementation strategy designed to promote two...
- The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded New York University $201,728 on March 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct research examining mechanisms contributing to functional recovery across the care cascade for respiratory failure. The research addresses how patient-level social determinants recorded at hospital admission, unit-level care processes during hospitalization, and community-level environmental...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center $608,173 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the role of the stretch-activated PIEZO1 channel in heart failure-associated atrial fibrillation. The research comprises three aims: testing the hypothesis that atrial stretch-induced PIEZO1 activation contributes to pathological atrial remodeling and atrial fibrillation predisposition...
The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston $1.575 million on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to examine how movement-related anxiety affects physical recovery and activity levels in women following major acute cardiovascular events. The research will recruit 489 women aged 18 or older hospitalized for acute cardiac events and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention at hospitals affiliated with the University of Texas Medical Branch, Rutgers University, and Brown University Health. Participants will undergo prospective evaluation at their index hospitalization and at 1 week and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-discharge. The study employs accelerometry with novel algorithms calibrated for this population alongside assessments of functional physical performance, psychosocial factors, symptoms, and cognition. The research addresses a documented recovery gap in women post-cardiac event, hypothesizing that heightened anxiety and attention to bodily sensations drive activity avoidance that paradoxically increases risk of falling, reinfarction, deconditioning, and loss of independence. Women face elevated anxiety prevalence relative to men and elevated fall risk due to estrogen-related declines in muscle mass, strength, and balance. Performance occurs in Galveston, Texas. The award runs through May 31, 2028. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
