A Balanced NIH Research Program
Audio Abstract from Interview with Henry Blackburn
Year: 1991
This audio segment is an extract from the “Ancel Keys Lecture” given by Blackburn at the American Heart Association Meeting in Anaheim in 1991, a crossroads period in CVD epidemiology during which the built-in balance of NHLBI programs was heavily affected by funding and policy changes. Blackburn makes the case for restoring a balance of professional attitudes, thinking, organization, and support for all three major research disciplines, laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological.
