The NHLBI announces a new strategic plan intended to set
the course for the next decade of research, training, and
education to reduce the national burden of cardiovascular,
lung, blood, and sleep disorders.
The plan introduces three overarching goals, reflective of
the movement of scientific discovery from "bench to
bedside:"
- Goal 1 – Form to Function: To Increase understanding of
the molecular and physiologic underpinnings of health and
disease
- Goal 2 – Function to Causes: To develop better
approaches for improved diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention, and
- Goal 3 – Causes to Cures: To translate research results
into everyday practice for medical care, health systems,
communities, and individuals
Powerful new research tools, information technologies,
imaging, and new research fields including genomics and
proteomics underlie many of the strategies that support each
of the goals. The plan emphasizes investigator-led research,
and innovations to help close the gap between scientific
discoveries, and successful integration of those discoveries
into daily health practice.
More than 600 individuals contributed to the strategic
plan, including researchers in basic and clinical sciences and
representatives of professional societies and patient advocacy
groups. They are listed in the full report.
