Cardiovascular Disease Enhanced Dissemination
and Utilization Centers (EDUCs) Awardees

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has funded twelve Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Enhanced Dissemination and Utilization Centers (EDUCs) to conduct performance-based education projects to prevent and control CVD and promote heart-healthy behavior in high-risk communities. Six were funded in 2001 (EDUCs I), and an additional six in 2002 (EDUCs II). NHLBI intends to make the EDUCs the foundation of a network of performance partners that will use NHLBI's science-based information to inform their communities of the public health burden of CVD and to develop and implement focused educational strategies to reduce this burden through changes in health care provider practice, patient behavior, and general public behavior. Establishing the EDUCs is a key part of NHLBI's response to the Healthy People 2010 objectives for the Nation.
