Current Research
The BMRG is currently conducting two NIH-funded
studies, the Pittsburgh Healthy Heart Project (PHHP), and the
Stress Treatment
and Health Risk study (STAHR). We are involved with several other collaborative
research studies with colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh and
Carnegie-Mellon University as well.
