To accomplish its mission, NIMHD plans, reviews, coordinates, and evaluates all minority health and health disparities research and activities of the National Institutes of Health; conducts and supports research in minority health and health disparities; promotes and supports the training of a diverse research workforce; translates and disseminates research information; and fosters innovative collaborations and partnerships.
To accomplish this goal the NINDS supports and conducts basic, translational, and clinical research on the normal and diseased nervous system. The Institute also fosters the training of investigators in the basic and clinical neurosciences, and seeks better understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders. NINR supports and conducts clinical and basic research and research training on health and illness across the lifespan to build the scientific foundation for clinical practice, prevent disease and disability, manage and eliminate symptoms caused by illness, and improve palliative and end-of-life care.
NLM conducts and supports research in biomedical communications; creates information resources for molecular biology, biotechnology, toxicology, and environmental health; and provides grant and contract support for training, medical library resources, and biomedical informatics and communications research. Since , the CSR mission has remained clear and timely: to see that NIH grant applications receive fair, independent, expert, and timely reviews — free from inappropriate influences — so NIH can fund the most promising research.
In FY , NIH estimates it will support a total of 35, research project grants, including over 10, new and competing awards. Today, it is the largest source of multidisciplinary funding for biomedical and behavioral research in the world.
In FY , about 83 percent of the funds appropriated to NIH will flow out to the extramural community, which supports work by more than , research personnel at over 2, organizations, including universities, medical schools, hospitals, and other research facilities.
NIH has supported Nobel Prize winners over the past 46 years. About 11 percent of the Budget will sustain an in-house, or intramural, program of basic and clinical research and training activities managed by world class physicians and scientists.
This intramural research program gives the nation the unparalleled ability to respond immediately to national and global health challenges. It includes the NIH Clinical Center, the largest hospital in the world totally dedicated to clinical research. Another six percent will provide for agency leadership, research management and support, and facilities maintenance and improvements. In fulfilling its mission, NIH strives to fund a strong, diverse portfolio of biomedical research, flexible enough to capitalize on scientific opportunities and to respond to urgent public health needs as they arise.
As a result of long-term national investments, scientific and technological breakthroughs generated by NIH-supported research are behind much of the gains in health and longevity that the nation has enjoyed. For example:. NIH research has generated effective drugs for lowering cholesterol, controlling blood pressure, and dissolving artery-clogging blood clots, as well as new techniques for heart attack prevention, including helping people make lifestyle changes that promote cardiovascular health.
As a result, the death rate today for coronary heart disease is 60 percent lower — and for stroke, more than 70 percent lower — than during the World War II era in which cardiovascular disease caused half of U. Over the past 15 years, cancer death rates in the U. As a result, HIV infection has changed from a virtual death sentence into a manageable chronic disease. Today, HIV-infected people in their 20s who receive combination therapy may expect to live to age 70 or beyond.
Approximately 54 percent of the NIH research budget is devoted to basic biomedical and behavioral research. By accelerating the development and application of innovative technologies, researchers will be able to produce a new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both real time and space. NIH is made up of 27 Institutes and Centers , each with specific research agendas and interests often focusing on particular diseases or body systems.
Researchers from Canadian universities are eligible for many NIH funding opportunities. Before submission of a grant application, on annual grant renewal, and within an update on awarded grant, the McGill PI must ensure the following:.
