- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $735,327 on June 22, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to examine individual and contextual risk factors for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and contributors to racial and geographic disparities in CLTI outcomes. The award funds research leveraging the REGARDS (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) study, a longitudinal cohort of...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $754,413 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a randomized controlled trial of remote blood pressure monitoring, pharmacist-led telehealth medication management, and automated text reminders integrated into an emergency department transitional care clinic model for hypertensive patients. The trial, titled REMAP-BP (Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring and Pharmacist-Led Telehealth Program in an Emergency Department Transitional Care Clinic), addresses a critical gap in hypertension continuity of care. Approximately 45 percent of emergency department patients present with elevated blood pressure but are discharged without definitive follow-up strategy, leaving uninsured and uninsured populations particularly vulnerable. UAB established its ED-TCC in 2022 to provide structured follow-up within 3 to 7 days of discharge. A pilot RCT conducted from July 2024 to April 2025 with 24 patients demonstrated high feasibility (92 percent enrollment, 80 percent visit completion), strong adherence to twice-daily blood pressure monitoring (85 percent compliance), and preliminary benefit with 78 percent achieving target blood pressure control. The award funds expansion and validation of this bundled intervention strategy. Performance location is Birmingham, Alabama. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
