"The new Advancing the Nation's Health: A Guide to Public Health Research Needs, 2006-2015 (also referred to as the Research Guide) will serve as a critical resource for research areas that should be addressed during the next decade by CDC and its partners in response to current and future public health needs and events. By health protection research, we mean research that supports health promotion, prevention of injury, disability, and diseases, and preparedness activities3. Many federal agencies have a distinguished and long track record of support of health-related research in their specific focus areas, and many agencies are guided by their own research agendas. What distinguishes the Research Guide from other health-related research agendas is that it is the first-ever comprehensive, long-term, national resource spanning all areas of health protection that will allow us to shine a spotlight on public health as never before. As such, the Research Guide is intended to build on and complement the work of other federal agencies and their research agendas." - p. 1-2 ; I. Overview -- -- II.
