- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $793,184 to Northwestern University to conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial. The trial will evaluate the effects of 1) automated transmission of home blood pressure values versus manual transmission, and 2) automatically-generated medical advice to patients via their patient portal versus no automated feedback. The primary outcome is...
- 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 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 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 Project Grant award, totaling $169,444, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to develop and pilot test a stress management intervention for Black adults with hypertension. The project will work with patients receiving care from federally-qualified health centers to iteratively design an intervention that addresses patient preferences and aims to promote cardiovascular health. Key outcomes to be examined include...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,084,359 to Nusirt Sciences, Inc. to conduct clinical validation of the fixed combination drug product NS-0200 for the treatment of hypertension. The award will support research activities from September 15, 2025 through June 30, 2027 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this novel hypertension treatment. Hypertension is a major global health issue, affecting...
- This $165,364 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to integrate novel contextual and genomic blood pressure measures to enhance cardiovascular disease prediction and management in young adults aged 18-39 years. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Identifying novel ambulatory blood pressure patterns that capture dynamic responses to everyday factors and...
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 connected home blood pressure devices. This preparatory work will inform a planned large-scale trial to evaluate the effectiveness of this self-management approach in improving blood pressure control among U.S. adults with uncontrolled hypertension, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
