N1 - Funding Information:
This research was supported by a grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health ( UL1TR001117 ).
Funding Information:
Duke University has a number of global health initiatives, and our major efforts in diabetes and hypertension are centered in China and Kenya. Both efforts have received funding from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute in response to a solicitation to create Centers of Excellence (COE) in noncommunicable disease research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) [32] . Duke University was awarded a COE in partnership with the George Institute in China and an additional COE with Moi University in Kenya. The COEs are distinctive in 2 main ways: 1) they undertake research into approaches to preventing or treating chronic diseases alongside developing a clinical research infrastructure and research training programs, and 2) they have become a new global research network for noncommunicable diseases based in LMICs [33] .

N2 - Diabetes and hypertension are chronic conditions that are growing in prevalence as major causal factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The need for chronic-illness surveillance, population-risk management, and successful treatment interventions are crucial for reducing the burden of future CVD. Addressing these problems will require population-risk stratification, task-sharing and -shifting, and community-as well as network-based care. Information technology tools also provide new opportunities for identifying those at risk and for implementing comprehensive approaches to achieving the goal of improved health locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. This article discusses ongoing efforts at one university health center in the implementation of management strategies for diabetes and hypertension at the local, regional, national, and global levels.
