Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (SOL): Dr. Kaplan is Principal Investigator of SOL, is a major NIH-funded cohort study of the health of US Hispanic/Latino populations. A population of 16,000 adults is being recruited in the Bronx and other SOL Field Centers for this multi-center investigation of cardiovascular disease and other conditions.

Dr. Kaplan's research within the CHS examines the role of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in risks of cardiovascular disease and other age-related chronic conditions.

Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Cardiovascular Substudy: As the Chair of the Cardiovascular Working Group in the NIH-funded WIHS cohort, Dr. Kaplan is investigating whether vascular risks in HIV-infected individuals may be due to side effects of antiretroviral medications, inflammation or coagulation perturbation, coinfections, or other sequelae of HIV infection.
