of interventions to prevent disease; studies of genetic,
behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences
on disease risk and outcomes; and studies of the application
of prevention and treatment strategies to determine how
best to improve the quality of clinical care and public
health. Examples of programs we support include the Framingham
Heart Study, the Hispanic Community Health Study, the Women’s
Health Initiative, the Action to Control Cardiovascular
Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, and the HMO-based nationwide
