by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The National Institutes of Health, more commonly referred to as NIH, is an agency operating under the United States Department of Health and Human Services that is primarily accountable for funding and supporting the nation's biomedical and health-related research studies.

The grants and programs of the NIH are all designed to contribute to the agency's general mission which 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 the burdens of illness and disability."
