The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $1,415,112 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska's University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Division. This 12-month grant, effective September 17, 2024, will evaluate a telehealth-delivered adaptive intervention to promote continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence and improve health outcomes for adults newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The grant includes a sub-award of $134,821 to the University of Pennsylvania's Clinical Practices to participate in the research study. The project aims to compare the effects of different behavioral interventions on CPAP adherence, determine the most efficacious approach for responders and non-responders, and assess potential mediators and moderators of treatment response. By using an adaptive design, the study seeks to develop a more personalized approach to increase long-term CPAP adherence and improve health outcomes for individuals with OSA.
