Project Grant R03HL176852
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $162,703.00 and granted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to determine whether streamlined, standardized blood pressure (BP) measurement protocols can be implemented in primary care settings. The project builds on the Alabama Cardiovascular Cooperative's Heart Health Improvement Project and seeks to improve the accuracy and efficiency of BP measurements to inform treatment decisions...
- This $734,722 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the impact of disclosing systolic blood pressure polygenic risk scores on blood pressure control, healthy lifestyle adherence, and cardiometabolic health among 300 hypertensive adults aged 18-55 in the United States. The study aims to evaluate whether providing individuals with information about their...
- This $285,195 project grant was awarded on August 20, 2025 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to support research on improving hypertension management through patient self-titration of antihypertensive medications. The project aims to adapt this intervention to the U.S. primary care context by assessing patient preferences, provider perspectives, and integration with electronic health records and...
- The Project Grant award of $692,846.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will fund the "Better Heart Study" at the University of Pennsylvania. The study aims to utilize behavioral science strategies to increase hypertension diagnosis and treatment in India, where hypertension prevalence remains high and many individuals are undiagnosed or not receiving care. The project will test two scalable behavioral...
- The University of Florida received a $1,410,766 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to conduct a mixed methods comparative effectiveness analysis on the implementation of new blood pressure (BP) control technologies and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to leverage the PCORnet Blood Pressure Control Laboratory to examine the extent and variability of BP control implementation across healthcare...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $688,525 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The grant, titled "Blood Pressure Control Advancing Refugee Health Equity (BPCARE): An RCT of Adherence", aims to develop and test a behavioral intervention to improve antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure...
- This federal Project Grant award of $362,250 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to evaluate the impact of treating elevated blood pressure in the inpatient setting on patient outcomes. The project, titled "Evaluating Whether Treating Elevated Blood Pressure in the Inpatient Setting Impacts Patient Outcomes: The ACT-BP Pilot," aims to obtain key knowledge needed to conduct a larger randomized clinical trial by...
- This $223,438 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to assess the incidence of hypertension in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive people with HIV after initiating bictegravir versus dolutegravir-based ART, determine if weight gain is associated with incident hypertension, and evaluate HIV and non-HIV risk factors for incident hypertension. The award was granted to the University of Alabama at...
- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) received a $637,732 project grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct research on improving the cardiac microenvironment as a novel strategy against diabetic ischemic heart failure. The project aims to leverage insights from cellular secretome research to transform treatment strategies for diabetic ischemic heart failure. Specifically, the research will investigate how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $132,623.00 in funding to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for the project "Mentored Patient-Oriented Research in Natriuretic Peptide System Based Precision Cardiometabolic Health". The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2030. The key products and services under this award include: 1) Mentoring and training for early-career...
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) received a $222,750 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop a clinical decision support questionnaire to identify barriers to blood pressure control. The project aims to address the high rates of uncontrolled hypertension in the U.S., which is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. The award, with a performance period from July 2025 to June 2027, will support the creation of a tool to help health systems more easily identify patient-level barriers to achieving controlled blood pressure through antihypertensive medication use, lifestyle changes, and regular healthcare provider visits. This project aligns with the U.S. Surgeon General's call-to-action to address the negative consequences of uncontrolled hypertension in the United States.
