NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

Begun as a one-room laboratory of hygiene in 1887, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) today is one of the world’s foremost biomedical research centers, and the Federal focal point for biomedical research in the United States.

The NIH mission is to expand fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to improve and develop new strategies for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease and communicate the results of research with the goal of improving health. NIH works toward that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals and research institutions throughout the country and abroad; helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of biomedical information.

The NIH 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. Comprised of 28 separate Institutes and Centers, NIH has 85 buildings on more than 300 acres in Bethesda, Maryland. From a total of about $300 in 1887, the NIH budget has grown to exceed $37 billion in 2018.
