- This federal Project Grant award of $113,683 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to characterize the determinants of cellular senescence and epigenetic dysregulation caused by tobacco smoke exposure in the lung. The research aims to: Determine the time- and age-dependent effects of cigarette smoke exposure on lung cellular senescence and associated epigenetic regulation in mouse models. Study the determinants of...
- This $515,632 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports research to prepare the U.S. and states for potential new cigarette product standards that could significantly increase smoking cessation rates. The research team at the University of Minnesota will provide state-specific estimates of the number of people who smoke (PWS) that will quit smoking in response to a menthol ban and nicotine reduction standard, as well as the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) aims to develop machine learning approaches to personalize cigarette smoking risk prediction for adults trying to quit smoking. The $200,676 award supports research to identify dynamic patterns and key features that predict smoking lapses and relapses during quit attempts, in order to inform the development of personalized smoking cessation interventions and clinical...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,119,410.00 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The grant supports a multi-disciplinary research initiative to investigate longitudinal changes in DNA methylation (LC-DNAM) and its relationship to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and outcomes across four large population-based cohort studies - ARIC, CARDIA, FHS, and MESA. The research aims to: 1)...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $766,667 to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. to investigate the role of neddylation, a protein modification process, in the development of cardiovascular diseases. The research aims to determine the significance of neddylation in maintaining vascular smooth muscle cell homeostasis and overall vascular health. Key research activities include...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), is focused on developing a cue-based smoking cessation intervention delivered via telehealth for people who smoke lightly (PSLI). The $906,306 award, with a performance period from September 2025 to August 2028, aims to adapt and pilot test an intervention that combines cue-based treatment with standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to promote smoking cessation...
- The University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division received a $413,958 Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The purpose of this 1-year award, effective September 22, 2023, is to investigate the role of the protein PUMA in promoting cell death and inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) caused by cigarette smoke exposure. The research aims...
- This $738,472 Project Grant was awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports a research project titled "CARDIOVASCULAR RISK PREDICTION AND REDUCTION IN MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER". The objective is to develop accurate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models for men with prostate cancer, as existing tools...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will support a study examining the link between stressful life events and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The $156,858 award, granted on February 1, 2025, will enable the University of Pittsburgh to utilize deidentified data from 656 healthy adults to investigate how brain and behavioral measures of negative affect and cognitive reappraisal...
This $231,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The goal of the project is to quantify the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with smoking cessation and changes in smoking patterns among a diverse cohort of U.S. adults. Key objectives include determining if reduction in cigarettes per day results in decreased CVD risk, estimating the number of years of smoking cessation required for former smokers' risk to approximate never-smokers, and enhancing CVD risk assessment tools to better capture the impact of long-term smoking behaviors. The project is scheduled to run from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
