- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas at Austin $238,858 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop personalized prediction models for HER2-induced cardiovascular adverse events in older women with breast cancer using artificial intelligence and machine learning. The award funds a cohort study using 2011–2022 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicare data linked with American...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center $1.371 million on September 15, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a multi-center observational study of the association between ventilation and cardiac arrest outcome. The study measures ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation using thoracic bioimpedance (electrical resistance) monitored through defibrillator pads. The recipient has...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Vanderbilt University Medical Center $174,621 on August 17, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) techniques for monitoring congenital heart disease using ultra-low field (ULF) MRI systems. The recipient will adapt CMR to an inexpensive, unshielded, open-geometry ULF MRI system and apply machine learning techniques to mitigate hardware limitations and...
- The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas at Austin $428,327 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop patient-specific, pre-procedural planning simulation tools for tricuspid valve repair. The project addresses tricuspid valve regurgitation, a condition affecting more than 1.6 million Americans, which is repaired in fewer than 10,000 patients annually due to low success...
- Federal Project Grant Summary The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley received a $222,000 project grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2027. The grant funds research focused on analyzing 24-hour (24-H) blood pressure dysregulations using population-based and clinical cohort data to develop innovative metrics and methodologies for understanding blood...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas at Arlington $579,745 on July 25, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop deep learning-based reconstruction (DRAC) methods for multi-phase cardiac CT angiography. The project runs through June 30, 2029, with performance at the university's Arlington, Texas campus. The award funds development of four-dimensional deep learning reconstruction algorithms that combine model-based iterative reconstruction with features learned from large high-quality multi-phase CT angiography image databases. The research targets ultra-low radiation doses for multi-phase cardiac imaging—approximately 3 millisievert or less using low tube current and fast-pitch scans—while maintaining or improving diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease assessment. The project includes construction of a synthetic patient library using computational human phantoms with real patient parameters to support algorithm training and validation. This is a Project Grant, a competitive research award mechanism. The University of Texas at Arlington, a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution within the University of Texas System, serves as the recipient through its Office of Research Administration.
