Testing Multi-Level Interventions to Improve Blood Pressure Control in Minority Racial/Ethnic, Low Socioeconomic Status, and/or Rural Populations (UH2/UH3): This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications to fund up to two patient-centered comparative effectiveness clinical trials using a UH2/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism. This initiative is supported by the Hypertension Disparities Reduction Program Partnership (HDRPP), a research partnership between NHLBI, NINDS, and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), with funds provided by PCORI to the NIH. The research initiative aims to reduce disparities in hypertension, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease that disproportionately affects certain populations including racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with low socioeconomic status, and rural communities. Approximately 30% of adults in the U.S. have hypertension, and of these, more than half have uncontrolled hypertension. The purpose of the FOA is to compare alternative, evidence-based approaches to reduce inadequate control of hypertension among high risk populations, including racial/ethnic minority groups, patients with low socioeconomic status (SES), and individuals residing in rural geographical areas with an above average lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
