- I have been awarded two grants; one from the
National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), and
one from the
Agency for Health Research and Quality
(AHRQ).
Both grants are funding studies on developing statistical models for
measuring the impact of anti-hypertensive medication adherence
on blood pressure levels.
The NHLBI grant is aimed more at population-based inferences,
whereas the AHRQ study is focused more on forecasting and the development
of a clinical decision tool.
