Learn More Breathe Better® is a national health education program for asthma, COPD, and other lung and respiratory diseases. The program raises awareness about asthma and other lung conditions and supports the promotion, implementation, and adoption of evidence-based care. Learn More Breathe Better offers a series of asthma handouts for patients and caregivers, including tips for talking to a healthcare provider.

The Lung Tissue Research Consortium (LTRC) collected human lung tissues for research use by qualified investigators. The program enrolled patients who were planning to have lung surgery, collected blood and other clinical data from these donors, and stored donated tissue that otherwise would be discarded after the lung surgery. These tissue samples and data are now available to investigators through NHLBI’s BioLINCC Program.

The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) was established in 1993 by the NHLBI and the World Health Organization to increase asthma awareness and translate scientific evidence into improved asthma care worldwide. GINA publishes annual updates to its report on the Global Strategy for Asthma Management and Prevention and summarizes recommendations for clinical practice and supporting evidence.
