Nih : NIH: The National Institutes of Health. The NIH is an important U.S. health agency. It is devoted to medical research. Administratively under the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), the NIH consists of 20-some separate Institutes and Centers. NIH's program activities are represented by these Institutes and Centers. They are, along with a brief overview of their essential
missions, as follows: - National Cancer Institute (NCI) - mission is to "lead a national effort to reduce the burden of cancer morbidity and mortality and ultimately to prevent the disease.
Through basic and clinical biomedical research and training, NCI conducts and supports programs to understand the causes of cancer; prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, and control cancer; and disseminate
information to the practitioner, patient, and public."
- National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) - mission is to "advance biomedical research and improves human health through
research projects and shared resources that create, develop, and provide a comprehensive range of human, annual, technological, and other resources. NCRR's support is concentrated in four areas:
biomedical technology, clinical research, comparative medicine, and research infrastructure."
- National Eye Institute (NEI) - mission is to "conduct and support research, training,
health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to blinding eye diseases, visual disorders, mechanisms of visual function, preservation of sight, and the special health problems and
requirements of the blind."
- National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) - mission is to "provide leadership for a national research program in diseases of the heart, blood
vessels, lungs, and blood and in transfusion medicine through support of innovative basic, clinical, and population-based and health education research."
- National Human Genome
Research Institute (NHGRI) - mission is to "support the NIH component of the Human Genome Project, a worldwide research effort designed to analyze the structure of human DNA and determine the location
of the estimated 100,000 human genes. The NHGRI Intramural Research Program develops and implements technology for understanding, diagnosing, and treating genetic diseases."
- National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) - mission is to "conduct and support a broad spectrum of research on normal structure and function of bones,
muscles, and skin, as well as the numerous and disparate diseases that affect these tissues. NIAMS also conducts research training and epidemiologic studies and disseminates information."
- National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) - mission is to support and conduct "research on fertility, pregnancy, growth, development, and medical rehabilitation strives
to ensure that every child is born healthy and wanted and grows up free from disease and disability."
- National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), formerly the
National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) - mission is to "provide leadership for a national research program designed to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent the infectious and inherited
craniofacial-oral-dental diseases and disorders that compromise millions of human lives."
- National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) - mission is to
"conduct and support basic and applied research and provide leadership for a national program in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic diseases; digestThe value of the NIH to medical research not
only in the USA but in the world as a whole cannot be overestimated.
