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 diseases and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives. Inherent in this mission is the commitment to advance health equity research as an avenue for enhancing the health of all individuals. Additionally, the four goals and eight research objectives of the NHLBI Strategic Vision directly support the commitment to health equity. In this article, we present selected examples of the NHLBI Strategic Vision implementation approaches for advancing health equity research in our mission areas of heart, lung, and blood diseases. Examples of diseases for which the burden of health inequities and our strategic vision implementation approaches are discussed include hypertension, heart failure, vascular dementia, asthma, and sickle cell disease. Examples are provided of new avenues of Institute-solicited research to stimulate and address compelling scientific questions and critical challenges to advance health equity. We also highlight the emerging fields of implementation science and predictive analytics as important opportunities to accelerate the translation of discovery science into health impact for all and to advance health equity.
美国国立心肺血液研究所（NHLBI）提供全球领导力，开展研究、培训和教育计划，以促进心脏、肺和血液疾病的预防和治疗，并增强所有个人的健康，使他们能够过上更长、更充实的生活。这项使命的核心是致力于推进健康公平研究，以此作为提高所有个人健康的途径。此外，NHLBI 战略愿景的四个目标和八个研究目标直接支持健康公平的承诺。在本文中，我们介绍了 NHLBI 战略愿景实施方法的一些示例，这些方法用于推进心脏、肺和血液疾病领域的健康公平研究。讨论了一些疾病的例子，这些疾病的健康不平等负担和我们的战略愿景实施方法包括高血压、心力衰竭、血管性痴呆、哮喘和镰状细胞病。提供了一些研究所征求的新研究途径的例子，以激发和解决具有挑战性的科学问题和关键挑战，推进健康公平。我们还强调实施科学和预测分析等新兴领域是将发现科学转化为所有人的健康影响并推进健康公平的重要机会。
