of a diverse scientific workforce equipped with the relevant skills, knowledge, and resources to tackle future  heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) challenges. This goal will require strategic interventions all along the research career continuum, including K to 12 education, collegiate and postdoctoral studies, and career development from early investigator to senior scientist. While this is relevant in all areas of development, particular attention is warranted for under-represented groups in science. Collaborative partnerships will be critical to collectively work toward the challenge of expanding the exposure of young students to the wonders of science and sustain that interest through college and graduate education. It is also critical to embrace research training as a lifelong exploration of scientific curiosity in which the NIH promotes the adoption of new disciplines, tools, and technologies as the scientific and public health landscape continually undergoes dynamic change.</p></div> </div> <div class="objective-future-goals"> <div class="field field--name-field-future-goals-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Envision a future in which we are able to...</div> <ul class="field field--name-field-future-goal-text field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__items"> <li class="field__item">Enable innovative solutions to pressing health problems by promoting the development of multidisciplinary teams capable of leveraging diverse skills and perspectives from crosscutting research fields such as data science, computational biology, quantitative population sciences, behavioral science, and implementation science.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="darkRedBackground top-and-bottom-padding"> <div class="responsive-container responsive-container-constrained"> <div class="content-container-constrained content-container-margin"> <h2>Related Priorities</h2> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-nhlbi-cc-cq view-id-nhlbi_cc_cq view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-5ce2fc105555d9bfbdc90c25b2adedb9206a52a6317854c36c7223d558593af1"> <div class="view-content"> <div data-drupal-views-infinite-scroll-content-wrapper class="views-infinite-scroll-content-wrapper clearfix"> <div class="views-row"> <article class="standard-card node node--type-cc-or-cq node--view-mode-short-teaser"> <div class="flexItemText"> <div class="cc-cq-category-label"> <div class="field field--name-field-cc-or-cq field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">Compelling Question</div> </div> What kinds of exposures, beginning in early education, would stimulate and maintain students' interest in and understanding of science, particularly students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds?
