If a country or political unit is not listed below, it is not considered high risk for importing dog rabies into the United States. Therefore, if the country is not listed, CDC strongly recommends vaccination against rabies, but the additional requirements for dogs from high-risk countries to enter the United States do not apply.
The High-Risk, High-Reward Research program supports exceptionally creative scientists pursuing highly innovative research with the potential for broad impact in biomedical, behavioral, or social sciences within the NIH mission. Preliminary data are not required. The program's four constituent NIH Director's awards provide a diverse set of funding opportunities. See the individual award websites for more information and application help.
Cooperative Innovative High Schools target students who are at risk of dropping out of high school, first-generation college students, and/or students who would benefit from accelerated learning opportunities. Currently, North Carolina has 134 Cooperative Innovative High Schools, including 123 funded partnerships. Students interested in attending one of these schools should contact their school district central office or the principal at the school for information about the selection and enrollment process. LEAs interested in creating a Cooperative Innovative High School must apply in partnership with an Institution of Higher Education. Click CIHS Applicants tab to the right for more information.

High-risk communities play a critical role in providing services and advancing causes upon which people around the world depend. These communities include activists, journalists, human rights defenders, academics, and other employees associated with civil society organizations that are at heightened risk of being targeted by cyber threat actors because of their identity or work. Many of these communities operate on lean budgets and cannot significantly invest in cybersecurity. As a result, they are a uniquely attractive target for cyber threat actors that leverage cyber intrusions to undermine the fundamental values and interests common to free societies.
During the Strategic Dialogue, eight countries convened to discuss ways to advance the cybersecurity of civil society and to align priorities for future work to support the cyber resilience of high-risk communities (HRCs).

Authentic8 collaborated with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to elevate awareness of the cyber threats that high-risk communities experience and resources available to mitigate them.
Collaborative efforts of organizations like CISA, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Hewlett, Splunk and the CyberPeace Institute, along with civil society support, are making a significant impact in enhancing cyber resilience of high-risk communities.
The CLTC is a proud member of the JCDC HRCP cyber defense planning effort, and our team is excited to support the launch of HRCP tools and resources to help community organizations defend themselves against cyber threats.
The Strauss Center is excited to promote the launch of the HRCP webpage, developed through the JCDC, a public-private cybersecurity collaborative to unite the global cyber community in the collective defense of cyberspace.
International law firm McDermott Will & Emery collaborated with the JCDC on the High-Risk Communities Protection effort to defend high-risk communities, including civil society organizations, against cyberattacks.
Cisco Talos is delighted to share updates about our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to combat cybersecurity threats facing civil society organizations.
On May 14, 2024, CISA released a High-Risk Communities Protection (HRCP) report developed through JCDC that addresses the threat to these vulnerable groups, with findings contributed by the X-Force Threat Intelligence team.
High blood pressure is a common condition that affects the body's arteries. It's also called hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
Untreated, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious health problems. It's important to have your blood pressure checked at least every two years starting at age 18. Some people need more-frequent checks.
Ask your provider for a blood pressure reading at least every two years starting at age 18. If you're age 40 or older, or you're 18 to 39 with a high risk of high blood pressure, ask for a blood pressure check every year.
If you don't regularly see a care provider, you may be able to get a free blood pressure screening at a health resource fair or other locations in your community. Free blood pressure machines are also available in some stores and pharmacies. The accuracy of these machines depends on several things, such as a correct cuff size and proper use of the machines. Ask your health care provider for advice on using public blood pressure machines.
Blood pressure is determined by two things: the amount of blood the heart pumps and how hard it is for the blood to move through the arteries. The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries, the higher the blood pressure.
For most adults, there's no identifiable cause of high blood pressure. This type of high blood pressure is called primary hypertension or essential hypertension. It tends to develop gradually over many years. Plaque buildup in the arteries, called atherosclerosis, increases the risk of high blood pressure.
This type of high blood pressure is caused by an underlying condition. It tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension. Conditions and medicines that can lead to secondary hypertension include:
High blood pressure is most common in adults. But kids can have high blood pressure too. High blood pressure in children may be caused by problems with the kidneys or heart. But for a growing number of kids, high blood pressure is due to lifestyle habits such as an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.
The excessive pressure on the artery walls caused by high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and body organs. The higher the blood pressure and the longer it goes uncontrolled, the greater the damage.
The shining star of Iowa's trail system, the High Trestle Trail runs for 25 miles through five towns and four counties. The trail includes an iconic, 1/2-mile, 13-story high bridge across the Des Moines River valley, one of the largest trail bridges in the world.
Building the trail included many initial tasks, such as inventorying the site, finding seed money and negotiating the purchase of the land. The Union Pacific Railroad arranged a bargain sale of the entire 439-acre corridor to INHF, which we later transferred to the partner agencies.
Then in 2006 Congress provided a big boost with a $5.5 million appropriation for the project. Combined with the other state and federal grants and over $3.2 million in donated land value from UPRR, the project had enough funds to construct the remaining 20-plus miles of trail or the bridge, but not both. The steering committee chose the trail so that people could begin enjoying it and its stunning river views. We believed the bridge would be rebuilt in time. Those 20 miles of trail opened to the public in the fall of 2008. The final fundraising task to complete the bridge and scenic overlook was all that remained.
