This was subsequently emulated by research organizations worldwide in the form of institutional review boards and research ethics committees.</p>

<p>NIH supports research that is high-risk, high-reward, meaning that it is highly innovative and has potential to lead to scientific breakthroughs, but may struggle to get funded through more traditional avenues. High-risk, high-reward research led to the development of imaging approaches, treatment technologies, and scientific techniques that have revolutionized science.</p>

<p>Designed to understand heart health and disease, the NIH-funded Framingham Heart Study has also advanced our understanding of many other conditions and disorders, including obesity, diabetes, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer.</p>

<li>Launched in 1948 in Framingham, Massachusetts, this study aimed to unravel causes of heart disease by following a group of individuals over time.</li>
|
||
<li>The tools and methodologies developed by Framingham scientists are commonly applied to understand chronic disease today.</li>
|
||
<li>As of 2022, more than 4,000 articles based on Framingham research have been published. While many are focused on cardiovascular disease, Framingham also informed our understanding of many other diseases and conditions including genetic patterns and inheritance of common diseases.</li>
