The National Institutes of Health

Founded in 1887, the National Institutes of Health today is one of the world's foremost medical research centers, and the Federal focal point for medical research in the United States.

The National Institutes of Health, comprising 27 separate Institutes and Centers, is one of eight health agencies of the Public Health Service which, in turn, is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Simply described, the goal of the National Institutes of Health research is to acquire new knowledge to help prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat disease and disability, from the rarest genetic disorder to the common cold.

The National Institutes of Health mission is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone.

The National Institutes of Health works toward that mission by:

  • Conducting research in its own laboratories
  • Supporting the research of non-Federal scientists 
  • Helping in the training of research investigators
  • Fostering communication of medical and health sciences information.
