This network coordinates heart disease prevention research across the centers. Main goals of the network include using stakeholder input to identify gaps in existing cardiovascular health knowledge, synthesizing research results, disseminating proven interventions for use at the state level, and reducing heart disease and death through these activities. Each center works with local and state partners on individual projects, such as West Virginia University’s CARDIAC Project, a risk surveillance and intervention initiative recognized in 2004 as the best rural public health program in the nation by the American Public Health Association. Through collaboration, regular communication, and setting milestones for evaluation, the research centers strengthen the work of each center and of the network.
