Key result
The Cardiovascular Health Intervention Research and Translation Network (CHIRTN) was established to develop partnerships, conduct demonstration projects, and identify gaps in cardiovascular health.
This report outlines the CDC's CHIRTN initiative to build research capacity and partnerships for heart disease and stroke prevention in underserved populations.
Enables collaborative cardiovascular prevention research in underserved groups; leaves open evaluation of demonstration project outcomes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention created the Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) Cardiovascular Health Intervention Research and Translation Network (CHIRTN) in 2005 to develop partnerships and create a research agenda that addresses cardiovascular health promotion. Six participating universities with expertise in heart disease and stroke prevention research collaborate with their PRC partner communities and other partners to (a) conduct demonstration research projects and (b) identify gaps in knowledge and make recommendations for future research to address those gaps. This report describes the structure and current efforts of the CHIRTN. The goal of these efforts is to promote cardiovascular health for Americans, particularly underserved, at-risk populations.
