NHLBI Activities to Address the
Recommendations of the Working Group on Epidemiology and Prevention of
Cardiovascular Disease
The Report of the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Councils Working Group on Epidemiology
(1998) recommended that the Institute carefully review recommendations of
recent task forces and workshops on epidemiology and prevention research,
particularly those of the Task Force on Epidemiology and Prevention of
Cardiovascular Disease (1994). This report summarizes the NHLBI activities
addressing these recommendations that have been completed, continued, or
started since 1994. Activities are grouped into Investigator-initiated and
Institute-initiated programs. Studies may be listed more than once if relevant
to more than one recommendation. A description of Institute-initiated programs
is attached. Descriptions of Investigator-initiated programs can be found
through the NIH-wide Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific
Projects (CRISP) system at: https://www-commons.cit.nih.gov/crisp/.
Selecting the query form at:
http://commons.cit.nih.gov/crisp/owa/CRISP.Generate_Ticket
and entering the principal investigator's name in the appropriate space will
generate a page with all his/her funded grants and links to the abstract for
each.
Research recommendations that may deserve additional
emphasis in both Investigator-initiated and Institute-initiated research are
listed at the end of this summary.
