- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. $908,994 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to test implementation strategies for electronic health record-based interventions to improve hypertension control in primary care settings. The project builds on the recipient's prior NIH-funded REDUCE-BP trial, which enrolled 49,210 patients and 560 primary care providers and demonstrated that multi-component...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded The Johns Hopkins University $366,914 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on September 1, 2026, for a five-year prospective cohort study examining cardiometabolic outcomes in women living with HIV on dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy. The study will compare cardiometabolic complications between women on dolutegravir-based and atazanavir/ritonavir-based antiretroviral regimens across reproductive life...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Mississippi Medical Center $333,250 on August 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to adapt and pilot-test a home blood pressure monitoring intervention for rural Mississippi. The recipient will modify a validated chronic disease self-management program that combines longitudinal home blood pressure monitoring with a smartphone-delivered virtual agent providing personalized education. The...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Connecticut Health Center $155,452 on July 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) for a five-year project grant (K01HL176409) to evaluate integrated HIV and non-communicable disease service delivery through mathematical modeling. The recipient will use mathematical modeling and data from the Center for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia's NIH-funded TASKPEN trial to assess the...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded New York University $847,163 on August 13, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop and implement the Community-to-Clinic Implementation Program to Control Hypertension in Barbershops (CLIP HTN). The award funds a research initiative to test whether community health worker-delivered hypertension screening and linkage services delivered through barbershops improve blood pressure control and linkage to...
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded New York University $510,538 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study integrating the HEARTS package—a World Health Organization–recommended strategy comprising healthy lifestyle counseling, evidence-based treatment protocols, access to medicines, risk-based care, task-sharing, and systems monitoring—into primary healthcare centers in Nigeria for management of comorbid diabetes mellitus and hypertension in people living with HIV. The R61HL184905 project award funds the initiation phase of a two-phase study. The R61 phase will use the Chronic Care Model to integrate HEARTS into primary healthcare centers for management of comorbid diabetes and hypertension in HIV-positive patients and will guide development of practice facilitation as an implementation strategy. The study builds on prior NIH-funded research demonstrating that integration of hypertension management into HIV care using task-sharing and practice facilitation achieved a 15 millimeter mercury systolic blood pressure reduction in 840 people living with HIV at 12 months across 30 primary healthcare centers in Lagos, Nigeria. Performance occurs in New York, New York, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. The assistance type is Project Grant.
