2006 Congressional Budget Justification
Long-term
Plan for Research and Translation in Hypertension for Enhancing Public
Health
The purpose of this report is to recommend a course for the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) regarding hypertension-related
activities to be initiated or continued over the next 5 years that
may be expected to result in public health benefits within 10 years.
The report consists of assessments of the current state-of-the-science
and of ongoing activities in 17 topic areas, accompanied by recommendations
for research initiatives, pre-initiative planning activities, and
translation projects. Its preparation was begun at the request of
the former NHLBI Director, Dr. Claude Lenfant, and its completion
encouraged by the Acting Director, Dr. Barbara Alving. The report
represents collaborative efforts of four units of the Institute: the
Divisions of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications, and of Heart
and Vascular Diseases; the Office of Prevention, Education, and Control;
and the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research.
