<p>The Department funds research into the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular
disease through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). In January
2023, the Department updated its areas of research interest (ARIs), which highlight
to the patient, academic, clinical and life sciences community the areas where we
want to expand our efforts and work together to systematically understand, intervene
and improve public, patient, and service outcomes. ARI1 focuses on prevention, early
diagnosis and appropriate intervention for people at increased risk of poor health,
including cardiovascular disease. Supporting ARI1, the three NIHR Research Schools
were awarded £10 million to deliver a collaborative programme of prevention research
between 2023 and 2027. The programme will have a strong emphasis on capacity building.
It will also encourage practitioners to participate in prevention research as a step
towards establishing their own longer-term research careers and help address gaps
between research and practice.</p>
