The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) has recently received two grants totaling more than $4.5 million to expand the school’s work in hypertension and mental health.

The $2.6 million grant fromhe American Heart Association will help JHSON researchers implement and evaluate a home blood pressure telemonitoring program. The $1.9 million grant from the American Rescue Plan Act will help the school bolster its educational offerings in mental health care and increase the number of mental health care providers.

“These new grants are outstanding and will be significant in the school’s continued efforts in cardiovascular research and in preparing the next generation of nursing leaders, especially those prepared to take on mental health care,” says Cheryl Dennison Himmelfarb, Vice Dean for Research and Sarah E. Allison Professor for Research and Self-Care.

The grant from the American Heart Association was given as part of the organization’s aim to prevent hypertension in underserved populations. With the funding, a team of researchers led by JHSON Assistant Professor Yvonne Commodore-Mensah, will implement the LINKED-BP Program, which seeks to help hypertension patients who are receiving care at community health centers. Some participants will receive a home blood pressure monitor, access to a mobile health app, and the knowledge and expertise of a community health worker. Others will receive only the blood pressure monitor. The intervention will evaluate whether blood pressure is lowered, while comparing the outcomes of the two groups.

The full research team includes Commodore-Mensah, Dennison Himmelfarb, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Lisa Cooper, and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Professor Deidra Crews, Assistant Professor Chidinma Ibe, and Associate Professor Seth Martin.

The funding received from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) American Rescue Plan Act will help establish and support JHSON’s newly launched Doctor of Nursing Practice Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track. The grant will facilitate JHSON in its commitment to provide education for advanced practice psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, especially those who can practice in underserved areas, as well as offer training opportunities for advanced practice registered nurses to specialize in mental health care and increase the number of doctorally prepared nursing faculty. The grant will be led by Assistant Professor Tamar Rodney, who is the project’s principal investigator.

“Our school is dedicated to research and studying interventions that will directly impact people and communities locally and around the world. This new funding speaks to the breadth and depth of our researchers’ work in meeting the most eminent health care needs,” says Dennison Himmelfarb.

Located in Baltimore, the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing is a globally-recognized leader in nursing education, research, and practice. In U.S. News & World Report rankings, the school is No. 1 nationally for its master's programs, and No. 2 for DNP programs and its online MSN Healthcare Organizational Leadership options. JHSON is ranked No. 1 for total NIH funding among schools of nursing for fiscal year 2020. In addition, the school is ranked by QS World University as the No. 3 nursing school in the world, No.1 by College Choice for its master’s program, and No. 1 by NursingSchoolHub.com for its DNP program.

约翰霍普金斯大学（JHSON）最近收到两笔赠款，总额超过450万$，扩大学校的高血压和心理卫生工作。

美国心脏协会提供的 260 万美元赠款将帮助 JHSON 研究人员实施和评估家庭血压远程监测计划。美国救援计划法案提供的 190 万美元赠款将帮助学校加强其在精神卫生保健方面的教育服务，并增加精神卫生保健提供者的数量。

“这些新的赠款非常出色，对于学校在心血管研究和培养下一代护理领导者方面的持续努力具有重要意义，尤其是那些准备接受心理健康护理的人，”研究副院长谢丽尔·丹尼森·希梅尔法布和莎拉说E. Allison 研究和自我保健教授。

美国心脏协会的赠款是该组织旨在预防服务不足人群高血压的目标的一部分。有了这笔资金，由 JHSON 助理教授Yvonne Commodore-Mensah领导的一组研究人员将实施 LINKED-BP 计划，该计划旨在帮助在社区卫生中心接受治疗的高血压患者。一些参与者将获得家用血压计、移动健康应用程序的使用权以及社区卫生工作者的知识和专业知识。其他人将只收到血压计。干预将评估血压是否降低，同时比较两组的结果。

完整的研究团队包括 Commodore-Mensah、Dennison Himmelfarb、Bloomberg 特聘教授Lisa Cooper和约翰霍普金斯医学院Deidra Crews教授、Chidinma Ibe助理教授和Seth Martin副教授。

从美国卫生与公众服务部 (HHS) 美国救援计划法案的卫生资源和服务管理局 (HRSA) 获得的资金将有助于建立和支持 JHSON 新推出的护理实践博士精神病心理健康护士执业跟踪。该赠款将促进 JHSON 致力于为高级实践精神科精神健康护士从业者提供教育，特别是那些可以在服务欠缺地区执业的人，并为高级实践注册护士提供培训机会，专门从事心理健康护理并增加数量博士准备的护理学院。该赠款将由该项目的首席研究员Tamar Rodney助理教授领导。
