N1 - Funding Information: The Alaska Siberia Project, a cross-sectional survey conducted in 1994, was one of the earliest epidemiologic studies to use thorough and validated methods to assess prevalent CVD and its risk factors in ANs.94 This project was modeled closely on SHS.95 Investigators recruited more than 50% of residents aged 25 years or older of 4 villages in the Bering Straits region of Northwestern Alaska. A subsequent study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the GOCADAN (Genetics of Coronary Artery Disease in Alaska Natives), investigated genetic and nongenetic determinants of CVD and its risk factors in a sample of 1214 predominantly Inupiat participants from the Norton Sound region of North-western Alaska. Baseline data collection was conducted from 2000 to 2004, with follow-up in 2006 to 2010.96 The EARTH (Education and Research towards Health) study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, recruited AN participants from several regions, including more than 1000 from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, for a study of chronic diseases (including cancer) and their risk factors.97 The CANHR (Center for Alaska Native Health Research), funded by the National Center for Research Resources, started in the early 2000s and focused on risk and protective factors for obesity and chronic diseases, including CVD.98,99 CANHR obtained biological, genetic, nutritional, and psychosocial data from examination Funding Information: The authors would like to acknowledge the forum planning committee, particularly Mollie A.
