To expand knowledge of the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms governing the normal function of HLBS systems as essential elements for sustaining human health.
To extend our knowledge of the pathobiology of HLBS disorders and enable clinical investigations that advance the prediction, prevention, preemption, treatment, and cures of human diseases.
To enable and develop a diverse biomedical workforce equipped with the essential research resources to pursue emerging opportunities in science.
To facilitate innovation and accelerate research translation across the entire research spectrum, bridging basic to clinical, clinical to practice, and population to health impact.
The eight objectives provide an organizing framework for the NHLBI Research Priorities. The objectives reflect one or more of the strategic goals. Over the next decade, these objectives will serve as the NHLBI's entire research portfolio, the strategic research priorities corresponding to the objectives will play a substantial role in helping the NHLBI to set, and periodicallyy refine, a research agenda and priorities for the next decade.
