Heart disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States and around the world. In addition to known risk factors for heart disease, family history plays an important role. In the past decade, major advances have occurred at the intersection of genomics, heart disease and public health. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder of cholesterol metabolism affecting millions of people, has emerged as public health genomics priority for preventing premature morbidity and mortality from heart disease. In addition, elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) increases the risk of coronary heart disease, occur in 1 in 5 people, have a strong genetic basis, and accentuate the cardiovascular risk from FH and other risk factors.

NIH launched the Implementing a Maternal health and PRegnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) initiative to support research on how to mitigate preventable maternal mortality, decrease severe maternal morbidity, and promote health equity. In fiscal years (FY) 2020 and 2021, NIH awarded more than $20 million to support 58 projects through the IMPROVE initiative to rapidly improve understanding of and mitigation strategies for the leading causes of pregnancy-related and pregnancy-associated morbidity, from pregnancy through up to 1 year postpartum.
