- 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...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $222,309 on September 1, 2026, for secondary data analysis examining how community and peer-based interventions influence cardiovascular risk in diabetes management populations. The study conducts structural equation modeling across three major programs: 14 projects funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Diabetes Initiative, 14 evaluation and demonstration projects funded by Peers for...
- This $702,964 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports a research initiative titled "Facilitating Health System Implementation of Physical Activity Screening and Referral to Community-Based Programs: Exercise is Medicine Greenville." The project aims to examine the impact of implementation facilitation on improving the delivery and reach of the Exercise is Medicine Greenville program, which involves...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded $742,459 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, on August 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The recipient is conducting a comprehensive epidemiologic study evaluating treatment optimization among people with cystic fibrosis in the era of highly effective modulator therapy. The study leverages the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry linked to...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $631,413 on August 1, 2026, as a Project Grant (R01HL183945) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The award funds research investigating the role of lipotoxicity-induced splenic cell alternative splicing in obesity cardiomyopathy. The study examines how fatty acid-induced alternative splicing of the BCL2L1 gene in the spleen contributes to the development of obesity...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $422,894 to Miami University to investigate the interactive effects of cardiorespiratory fitness and adiposity on the recovery of impaired glucose control and vascular function following a period of physical inactivity. The research aims to (1) examine how existing health status impacts the ability to recover impaired glucose control after reduced physical...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado-Denver) $168,691 on August 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to refine, augment, and pilot test an affect-based physical activity promotion program for cancer survivors at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. The award funds a K01 Career Development Award with a five-year period of performance through July 31, 2031. Work is...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Texas at Arlington $113,788 on August 14, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate how changes in shared public activity spaces—such as walking trails, parks, and sidewalks—affect long-term hypertension risk trajectories in aging adults. The research uses longitudinal data from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study to identify physical activity-related pathways...
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 and will test three key elements: effective procedures for recruiting, randomizing, and retaining participants in a trial with both individual coaching and partner-coaching arms; scalable procedures for pairing activity partners matched on specific characteristics; and acceptable solutions for managing partner withdrawal or disengagement. Participants will complete daily assessments to track physical activity progress, partner communication, and intervention mechanisms. The award is structured as a project grant (R34 mechanism) with performance in Glassboro, New Jersey. The period of performance runs through June 30, 2029. The R34 mechanism supports pilot and feasibility studies that develop and test interventions before full-scale efficacy testing, aligning with NHLBI's goal to build research foundations and train investigators in cardiovascular sciences.
