The New Jersey Department of Health’s Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program funds evidence-based strategies to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease among adults in high-burden Newark communities. The program focuses on population-based, evidence-based system interventions rather than care for individual patients alone. Its goal is to improve health outcomes by reducing hypertension rates in the census tracts of focus.
The notice does not name specific interventions. It identifies their evidence base, population-level approach, and contribution to lower hypertension rates as priorities for the funded work.
