- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Seattle Children's Hospital $1,736,235 on August 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate sleep health and its relationship to childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (CSLE) symptoms within the sociocultural and neighborhood contexts of affected youth. The research examines associations between sleep health dimensions—including duration, efficiency, regularity, and daytime sleepiness—and CSLE...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital $3.243748 million on September 23, 2025, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate the role of ambient lighting in circadian misalignment within a chronic variable sleep deficiency paradigm and its impacts on sleep, cognition, and central oxidative stress. The research examines how irregular sleep schedules—common among U.S. adults accommodating social and work...
- The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded the University of South Carolina $100,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating a prevention-focused behavioral sleep intervention for parents of preschool-aged children. The study will enroll 198 parent-child dyads (children ages 2–4 years with insufficient sleep at baseline and no reported sleep disorder) and randomize them to receive either...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Yale University $313,649 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on August 15, 2026, to derive and validate a clinical prediction rule identifying febrile children and adolescents with sickle cell disease at low risk for bacteremia. The project addresses overtreatment of febrile children with sickle cell disease in emergency departments. Existing clinical guidelines recommend aggressive evaluation for bacteremia due...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Emory University $100,228 on September 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct longitudinal research examining associations between sleep health, protective factors against psychosocial adversity, and stress-related biomarkers including allostatic load and epigenetic age acceleration. The project analyzes multidimensional sleep health—encompassing regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing,...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded Boston Children's Hospital $171,600 on September 1, 2026, under CFDA 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to support career development and mentored research in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea diagnostics. The award funds the recipient investigator's training in three areas: predictive modeling and machine learning, advanced physiological signal analysis, and implementation science for translating research into clinical...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Yale University $839,771 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on September 1, 2026, to develop and refine a behavioral sleep intervention for low-income families in pediatric primary care settings. Yale will adapt and test Sleep Well, Bee Well (SWBW), an evidence-based intervention grounded in social cognitive theory, for implementation in primary care offices serving low-income populations. The R61 phase (Year 1, through August 31, 2027) focuses on rapid-cycle user-centered design to adapt SWBW for pediatric primary care by engaging parents, primary care clinicians, and national practice-based research network partners through a community advisory board. Yale will iteratively refine the intervention while finalizing the study protocol, manual of operations, study documents, and institutional review board approval. A planned R33 phase (Years 2–5) will evaluate the intervention's effectiveness in improving children's sleep health. The work addresses documented sleep health disparities evident as early as one year of age, which disproportionately affect children from low-income households and historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups. SWBW was previously developed and tested with low-income families enrolled in Head Start early childhood education programs, demonstrating feasibility, acceptability, and improved sleep outcomes in toddlers. Place of performance is Orange, Connecticut.
