Remington, Richard, PhD (1931-1992)

Richard Remington received the CIBA award for hypertension research in 1980 for the design and implementation of the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, including the sample size estimation which gave the trial power to demonstrate an effect on mortality in the whole community. He was centrally involved in the design of the first Multiple Risk Factor Trial, JUMBO, in collaboration with Henry Taylor and Jeremiah Stamler in the late 1960s. Remington’s later career was in leading academic posts at Michigan, Texas, Iowa, and in the Institute of Medicine.
