Project Grant R21HL182473
- 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...
- 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 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 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Federal Grant Program for Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837), provides $123,104 to Emory University to conduct research on factors contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidities in persons living with HIV (PWH). The key objectives are to: 1) assess relationships between the metabolome, lipidome, HIV reservoir, and subclinical CVD, analyzing differences by sex; and 2) determine...
- The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) was awarded a $897,989 Project Grant by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) on September 13, 2025. The grant funds a study to understand the hypertension (HTN) care cascade and cardiovascular disease risk among people with HIV who receive care at a safety net clinic, with a focus on the unique HTN care needs of those with severe financial challenges. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $494,283 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Botswana (UB) to develop and test new strategies to initiate statin therapy for people living with HIV (PWH) who also have hypertension in Botswana. The project, titled "Integrating Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Care into Existing HIV Service Package in Botswana (INTERCARE)-Statin Sub-Study," will leverage...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,981,544.00, awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will fund a study to assess the impact of asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on cardiovascular event risk in people with treated HIV infection. The study will leverage data from a prior clinical trial of the CMV-specific antiviral drug letermovir and a case-cohort study of over 1,900 ART-suppressed people with HIV to...
- 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 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 $708,678, provided by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to conduct a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) to reduce food insecurity and improve adherence in patients with hypertension. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Determining the most effective initial food insecurity intervention (resource information or community health worker...
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 Birmingham (UAB) and will support research to better understand the relationship between integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based ART regimens and hypertension development in people with HIV. The findings could inform clinical practices and treatment guidelines to manage cardiovascular health in this population.
