This paper presents a brief overview of the trends in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for school‐based research and describes the school‐based research initiatives for cardiovascular health promotion and disease prevention at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Currently, 15 cardiovascular school‐based research studies are funded at the NHLBI.
