The Healthy Nevada Project and dri research

Researchers at the Healthy Nevada Project and DRI are hard at work analyzing and interpreting genetic, medical, environmental, and socio-economic data from tens of thousands of research participants to help solve complex problems. Without the contributions from our fellow Nevadans, this research would not be possible.  Thank you to all of our Healthy Nevada Project participants for your continuing support of our research endeavors.
