R01 NS38384 (Brott) (subcontract) 1/1/2008 ? 12/31/2015 1.8 calendar New Jersey/NIH/NINDS $ 304,556 (current year direct) Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) CREST is a randomized clinical trial of cerebrovascular symptomatic patients with high-grade stenosis randomized to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid angioplasty with stenting (CAS). Primary endpoints are any stroke, MI or death in the 30-day peri-procedural period, or ipsilateral stroke in the post-30 day period. The unit at UAB is the statistical coordinating center for the trial. R01 NR012726 (Wang) 7/1/2011 ? 6/30/2016 .48 calendar NINR $ 336,815 (current year direct) Risk Factors for Sepsis in the Community Sepsis, a condition of enormous public health importance, has two-fold regional variation in mortality in the US, with the highest cluster in the Southeastern US. This proposed study will advance sepsis science by identifying individual and community-level factors amenable to risk reduction, potentially leading to strategies to prevent sepsis and reduce its high mortality. Objectives include: (1) identifying individuals, family, community and societal/system healthcare factors associated with sepsis attack rate and case fatality, and (2) determining their mediating effects on regional sepsis variations Muntner 1/23/14 ? 2/27/15 .6 calendar AMGEN, Inc. $ 1,054,376 (current year direct) Cardiovascular Disease, Prevention, Treatment, and Outcomes R01 HL117323 (Muntner) 7/15/13 ? 6/30/16 .6 calendar NIH/NHLBI $ 378,927 (current year direct) Incorporation of a Hypertension Working Group into the Jackson Heart Study U01 NS080165 (G Howard) 3/15/14 ? 2/28/21 2.7 calendar NIH/NINDS $ 849,691 (current year direct) CREST-2 Statistical and Data Coordinating Center ? (SDCC) CREST-2 is a pair of randomized trials to assess potential stroke reduction: 1) carotid endarterectomy plus aggressive medical management versus medical management alone, and 2) carotid stenting plus aggressive medical management versus medical management alone. Each trial will have approximately 1,240 patients randomized and followed for up to 4 years for any stroke during a 44-day peri-procedural period plus ipsilateral stroke over a follow-up period extending 4 years. The study will be performed in approximately 120 clinical centers in the US and Canada. P20 GM109098 (Frisbee) 09/08/2014 ? 05/31/2019 .6 calendar NIH/NIGMS/West Virginia University $ 83,359 (current year direct) Effects of Perfluoralkyl Chemicals on Stroke Incidence, Mortality and Morbidity This project will systematically evaluate the effects of multiple PFC compounds on stroke risk and outcome in a diverse cohort and so results will be broadly generalizable. This proposed project is relevant to both NIEHS and NIH, as it discovers how the environment affects people soa as to lennhten life and promote healthier lives.
