The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
Welcome to the NHLBI, the third largest institute at NIH!
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) provides global leadership for a research, training, and education program to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood disorders and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives.
NHLBI's The Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS) plans, fosters, and supports research to identify the best strategies for ensuring successful integration of evidence-based interventions within clinical and public health settings, such as health centers, worksites, communities, and schools in the United States and abroad. These strategies will build on the successes in fundamental discovery science and early-stage translational research. They also will help tackle new challenges in late-stage T4 translational research—the phase in the translational research pathway that leads to general knowledge about implementing evidence-based interventions—that helps turn discoveries into improved health.
