- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the Trustees of Indiana University $516,592 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct integrative genomic analysis and develop high-dimensional risk prediction models for congenital heart defects using random field methods. The research leverages existing biospecimens and data from the National Birth Defect Prevention Studies, the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium, and the Trans-Omics for...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rowan University $271,250 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a pilot trial testing physical activity partnerships for midlife women with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. The award funds a 12-week physical activity skills coaching program using intensive ambulatory assessment. The trial will enroll 160 insufficiently active women ages 40–65 with one or more CVD risk factors...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Trustees of Indiana University $161,645 on August 5, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop and pilot-test the Latino Intervention Support to Succeed (LISTOS) psychosocial intervention, designed to improve capability, opportunity, and motivation for Latino individuals to participate in and adhere to the Diabetes Prevention Program. The award supports Dr. Ines Gonzalez Casanova, an assistant professor...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Brown University $801,800 on June 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to evaluate the Health Zones Initiative, a statewide community intervention model in Rhode Island designed to improve diet quality, physical activity, and cardiovascular disease outcomes across 14 communities. The project will assess the effectiveness, implementation, and interaction between implementation and effectiveness of the...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Duke University $242,250 on June 18, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a secondary analysis identifying genetic predictors of physical activity intervention dropout and adherence. The project will analyze existing data from two completed physical activity interventions—the Heart Health Study and the HF-ACTION Trial—to identify genetic variants associated with intervention dropout and adherence...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the Trustees of Indiana University $277,375 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on July 25, 2026, to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial assessing the feasibility and effect of Health Strides, a six-month, multi-level physical activity intervention targeting Head Start staff. The intervention combines workplace-level and individual-level components. The workplace component establishes a wellness committee to coordinate on-site physical activity activities and organizational supports, including small equipment, motivational posters, designated activity breaks, and group wellness days. The individual component deploys an artificial intelligence-based chatbot for personalized coaching to help staff set feasible physical activity goals, develop action plans, and receive tailored support, complemented by objective self-monitoring using Fitbit trackers. The trial will enroll 72 Head Start staff (8–10 per center) from eight Head Start centers across two Head Start grantee agencies. Researchers will randomly assign centers 1:1 to receive the intervention or attention control (financial education), collect baseline measures, and assess outcomes six months post-intervention. The award carries a period of performance from July 25, 2026, through May 31, 2029, with place of performance in Bloomington, Indiana. This is classified as a Project Grant, the assistance type used by NIH for investigator-initiated research.
