The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded Trustees of Boston College $836,728 on August 5, 2026, under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to conduct a multisite randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of a mindful behavior change intervention in adults with persistent heart failure. The trial, designated NIH Phase III, will enroll 201 adults with stage C heart failure and compare the mindful behavior change intervention against usual care enhanced with self-care education. The study aims to demonstrate that the intervention improves gold-standard measures of heart failure self-care behavior, FDA-approved assessments of heart failure-specific quality of life, and guideline-recommended biomarkers of myocardial stretch; enhances interoceptive awareness and symptom recognition; and reduces unplanned healthcare utilization. The mindful behavior change intervention emphasizes body listening and body sensation awareness as mechanisms to support effective self-care management in heart failure. The award funds work performed in Chestnut Hill, Newton, Massachusetts, with a period of performance ending May 31, 2031. Boston College serves as the recipient institution and research site.
