This federal Project Grant award of $233,250 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will fund a research study at the University of Iowa to characterize changes in airway and chest wall deformation between inspiratory and expiratory lung volumes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study will leverage established datasets from nationwide longitudinal lung studies to develop normative models of airway and...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) federal grant program, aims to leverage quantitative imaging data from lung cancer screening to develop tools for detecting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The $626,247 award to the Regents of the University of Michigan will fund research to: 1) characterize COPD-related pathology from lung cancer screening CT scans, and 2) build a...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $151,578.00 to Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to investigate the role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1A) in skeletal muscle protein homeostasis and function in a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-associated sarcopenia. The research aims to determine how...
This Project Grant award of $2,369,201, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to develop a population-based analytics and data infrastructure to evaluate the impact of non-COPD medications on outcomes for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The overarching goal is to leverage existing claims data and electronic health records, including data from the COPDGene cohort study, to identify potential...
This federal Project Grant award of $725,088 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to optimize the effectiveness and implementation of COPD self-management treatment. The primary goal is to conduct a factorial optimization trial among 448 individuals with COPD to evaluate the impacts of treatment components including self-management education, physical activity, and inhaler training on respiratory-related hospitalizations and...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $708,063 to the University of Virginia to conduct research on post-transcriptional regulatory networks in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The key objectives are to: 1) develop a method to identify RNA-binding protein (RBP) to isoform regulatory networks in COPD, 2) functionally characterize COPD-associated RBP subnetworks, and 3) use long-read...
This Project Grant award of $725,817 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to investigate the role of DNA methylation in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The key objectives are to develop novel computational methods for analyzing high-dimensional methylation data, identify methylation patterns linked to COPD outcomes, and compare epigenetic pathways between...
This $203,974 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports a research project to investigate the effects of normal and diseased extracellular matrix (ECM) on the self-renewal and differentiation of airway basal epithelial cells. The project leverages novel tools developed by the co-PIs, including "inside-out" airway organoids and ECM hydrogels derived from normal and...
This $565,250 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant supports a 5-year longitudinal study led by Duke University to characterize the effects of host-microbiome interactions on pulmonary function in a cohort of 500 adults with and without HIV in Botswana. The study will utilize advanced multi-omics techniques, including shotgun metagenomic sequencing, host...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $812,189 to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. for a research project titled "Clinical CT Imaging for Screening and Subtyping of Pulmonary Hypertension in COPD".

This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA Program 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research will provide $116,625 to The University of Iowa to characterize clinically relevant phenotypes related to osteoporosis and sarcopenia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The project aims to develop normative models of phenotypic aging, automated CT-based measures of bone, muscle, and lung diaphragmatic surface deformation, and associations between these phenotypes and COPD severity. This 2-year effort will leverage established datasets from nationwide lung studies, artificial intelligence, and image/data analytics to advance the understanding of mechanistic links between musculoskeletal aging, risk factors, and clinical outcomes in COPD.
