At the vanguard of veterinary education since William Dick founded the School in 1823, the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies is one of the world''s most innovative and influential centers for clinical care and student education. Using outstanding clinical facilities, we provide veterinary services of the highest standards and a stimulating educational experience for our students, within an environment rich in high quality interdisciplinary research. Affectionately known as the ''Dick Vet'', the School is part of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, one of the top 15 centers of biomedical research in the world with annual research awards in excess of 100 million pounds. Our research spans all aspects of veterinary medicine, from molecules and genes through to animal and human populations. Our partnership with the Medical School is summed up in the ethos - One Health. Our vision is simple yet ambitious: we want to take the School''s work to a new level as a world leader in veterinary research and training. By 2011 we will have invested over 100 million pounds in building state-of-the-art teaching facilities, clinics and laboratories. We attract, and actively recruit, the world''s leading veterinary teachers, clinicians and researchers to maintain our customary high ranking in the UK league tables for international excellence in our teaching and research.

It funded programs in 32 states and the District of Columbia in 2006 to promote cardiovascular health and to prevent morbidity and mortality due to heart disease and stroke. The Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (HDSP) Policy Project was conducted to support the states in policy development and implementation. Through a contract with Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR), the following resources were developed: An annotated bibliography of state HDSP policy and activity sources A centralized database for state HDSP policies A guide to the fundamentals of HDSP policymaking A handbook for evaluating HDSP policies using an adaptation of the RE-AIM framework Sponsor. The HDSP Policy Project was supported by the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Coordinating Center for Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Wistar Institute is the nation''s first independent institution devoted to medical research and training. The Wistar Institute has evolved from its beginnings as an anatomical teaching museum to its present-day status as an international leader in basic biomedical research. In 1972, The Wistar Institute was designated a National Cancer Institute Cancer Center in basic researcha distinction it holds to this day. Wistar discoveries have led to the development of vaccines for rabies, rubella, and rotavirus, the identification of genes associated with breast, lung, and prostate cancer, and the development of monoclonal antibodies and other significant research technologies and tools.

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada''s agency responsible for funding health research in Canada. CIHR was created in 2000 under the authority of the CIHR Act and reports to Parliament through the Minister of Health. CIHR''s budget for 2008-09 is $928.6 million, of which $132 million is allocated to administering the Networks of Centres of Excellence and Canada Research Chair programs. CIHR was created to transform health research in Canada by: * funding more research on targeted priority areas; * building research capacity in under-developed areas such as population health and health services research; * training the next generation of health researchers; and * focusing on knowledge translation, so that the results of research are transformed into policies, practices, procedures, products and services. CIHR consists of 13 virtual institutes, a structure that is unique in the world. These innovative institutes bring together all partners in the research process - the people who fund research, those who carry it out and those who use its results - to share ideas and focus on what Canadians need: good health and the means to prevent disease and fight it when it happens. Each institute supports a broad spectrum of research in its topic areas and, in consultation with its stakeholders, sets priorities for research in those areas.

Software package which performs a variety of genetic analyses including association mapping, diversity estimation and calculating linkage disequilibrium. The association analysis between genotypes and phenotypes can be performed by either a general linear model or a mixed linear model. The general linear model now allows users to analyze complex field designs, environmental interactions, and epistatic interactions. The mixed model is specially designed to handle polygenic effects at multiple levels of relatedness including pedigree information. These new analyses should permit association analysis in a wide range plant and animal species. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

This NINDS website is designed to facilitate research efforts on Parkinsons disease, as well as to provide researchers, patients and caregivers with related information and resources. Because the interests of the research and patient communities are overlapping yet distinct, the site contains separate web pages directed toward these two communities. For example, regarding funding for PD research, researchers will find information on relevant research funding opportunities, and people with PD can access information on currently funded NINDS and NIH projects. As part of their mission to decrease the burden of neurological disease, and building upon a strong foundation of research discovery, the NINDS is committed to the rapid translation of basic research findings into clinical practice. The NINDS supports a broad spectrum of basic, translational and clinical research on Parkinsons disease (PD), a chronic, progressive movement disorder that affects the lives of at least one million patients across the United States. The average onset of characteristic motor symptoms, which are initially subtle and impact purposeful movement, occurs in the sixth decade. People with PD also experience significant non-motor symptoms including changes in cognition and mood, sleep disturbances, and autonomic dysfunction. Currently available pharmacological and surgical treatments provide relief from some motor symptoms, but do not halt the ultimate progression of the disease. Although significant research advances have been made, including the recent identification of possible environmental and genetic risk factors, a clear cause and a definitive cure for PD have remained elusive. Through a constellation of funding mechanisms, representing over 86 million in fiscal year 2008, the NINDS promotes the advancement of research directed to the understanding, treatment and eventual cure of PD.

The goal of environmental public health tracking is to protect communities by providing information to federal, state, and local agencies. These agencies, in turn, will use this information to plan, apply, and evaluate public health actions to prevent and control environmentally related diseases. Environmental public health tracking is the ongoing collection, integration, analysis, and interpretation of data about the following factors: :- Environmental hazards :- Exposure to environmental hazards :- Health effects potentially related to exposure to environmental hazards CDC''s goal is to develop a tracking system that integrates data about environmental hazards and exposures with data about diseases that are possibly linked to the environment. This system will allow federal, state, and local agencies, and others to do the following: :- monitor and distribute information about environmental hazards and disease trends :- advance research on possible linkages between environmental hazards and disease :- develop, implement, and evaluate regulatory and public health actions to prevent or control environment-related diseases. Planning for an environmental public health tracking network is an important priority for CDC because of the opportunity it provides to address some of the most challenging problems facing local, state, and national public health leaders. From the outset, this activity has involved substantial collaboration between CDC and its public health and environmental partners (e.g., see the memorandum of understanding between HHS/CDC and the Environmental Protection Agency).
