James and Esther King Biomedical Research Program
A state research programme established in section 215.5602, Florida Statutes and funded from Florida's tobacco settlement, supporting research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cures for tobacco-related cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke and pulmonary disease. Recent priorities include reducing mortality and morbidity among disproportionately affected populations and improving screening accuracy and detection in high-risk groups, which opens room for behavioural, health-services and community-facing research alongside laboratory work.
