The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. In pursuit of this mission, NIH conducts or supports research designed to understand the basic biology of human health and disease; apply this understanding towards designing new approaches for preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease and disability; and ensure that these new approaches are available to all.

 

As the Nation’s medical research agency and the largest source of funding for biomedical and behavioral research in the world, NIH plays a unique role in turning basic scientific discovery into improved health. A significant and enduring investment by NIH in basic research today assures the breakthroughs in the health care of tomorrow. This robust research enterprise depends upon NIH’s ability to recruit and retain the Nation’s brightest minds into successful scientific careers. With continued support, NIH contributes significantly to the economic engine that drives American competitiveness in science and technology and will realize a Nation in which all Americans enjoy long healthy lives.
