Project Grant R34HL180788
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to extend an ongoing dietary weight loss intervention study and examine the impact of different weight loss approaches on long-term outcomes. The $468,000 award to the University of Colorado-Denver will: Compare post-intervention adherence and clinical outcomes (weight, body composition, cardiometabolic health) between the standard daily caloric restriction...
- 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 $238,884 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program is funding research to assess the efficacy of digital health technologies in low-resource settings. The primary awardee, the University of South Florida, is conducting in-depth interviews and behavioral observations with healthcare providers, patients, and their families to explore how digital health services impact treatment experiences,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $766,277 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to optimize dietary adherence in a mobile behavioral weight loss intervention for adults. The project aims to use an innovative factorial trial design to identify intervention components that can directly improve dietary adherence for participants who do not initially respond well to the standard...
- This federal Project Grant award of $727,080 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the neurogenic mechanisms underlying psychosocial stress-induced cardiovascular disease and postpartum depression. The primary research objective is to delineate how stress-evoked mitochondrial dysfunction in the medial prefrontal cortex contributes to postpartum cardiovascular and behavioral changes. The 4-year project,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $256,627.00 to the University of Denver to develop and pilot test a digital intervention for parents of pre- and early adolescents. The goal is to support parents in responding effectively to suicide risk alerts generated by digital monitoring apps, thereby decreasing suicide-related behaviors in their children. The project involves three phases:...
- 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...
- The National Institutes of Health's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute awarded $2,350,623 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota on May 1, 2021 for a project concluding on April 30, 2022. The project aims to reduce childhood obesity through an individual randomized controlled trial testing combinations of ecological momentary intervention, home visiting, and video feedback delivered to 510 low-income, racially...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $3,096,280.00 to conduct research on the effects of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for depression (ICBT-D) in people with HIV (PWH). The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the effects of ICBT-D on insulin resistance in depressed PWH on antiretroviral therapy; 2) Examine...
- The federal Project Grant award of $180,936 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a research project titled "Building a Sedation Minimization Culture" at the University of Colorado-Denver. The project aims to 1) understand how individual ICU staff characteristics and their shared assumptions, values, and beliefs shape their collective approaches to sedation, and 2) promote sedation minimization in the ICU by...
The federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $226,778 to Colorado State University from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028 to deliver a "Digitally Enhanced Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents with Depression and Obesity" research project. The project aims to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-week cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) group intervention, enhanced with digital technology, to decrease depression and improve cardiometabolic health in racially/ethnically diverse (70% Black/Hispanic) adolescents (12-17 years old) with elevated body mass index (BMI). The research builds upon the university's prior studies showing that the CBT group intervention decreased depression and insulin resistance in this target population, but with moderate effect sizes potentially due to suboptimal homework completion. This new project will explore how digital technology can be leveraged to enhance adolescents' engagement and skills acquisition from the CBT intervention to drive greater improvements in mental and physical health outcomes.
