Other Items of Interest
The
NHLBI Web Site has a new look!
The new site
revolves around the idea that 'finding answers should be simple'. A fresh,
clean visual brand brings a higher level of consistency to the Institute
and, in turn, allows us to communicate our message more effectively.
- Enhancements:
- The
Disease & Conditions Index (our most trafficked website) Search
box appears right on the homepage - so finding your answers is faster
and easier
- We
removed the clutter and left you with a cleaner look
- A
new banner on the homepage highlights important public health initiatives
and newsworthy events
- We
have begun a larger initiative to continue to make improvements
to the site to better serve the public
- Limited
Access Datasets
The NHLBI data sharing program, known as Limited Access Datasets,
is now going by a new name, the NHLBI
Data Repository. The Data Repository currently houses data
from 20 Epidemiological and 47 Clinical Trial studies supported by the
NHLBI.
An
Archive of the current and past issues
is available on the NHLBI Web site.
