Abstract: The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to improve human health through biomedical and behavioral research. The NIH implements this mission by conducting intramural research in its own laboratories; supporting extramural research by scientists at universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutes; training basic and clinical research investigators; and fostering and supporting biomedical communication as well as public health information dissemination. OER/OD/NIH exercises overall oversight for the policies and procedures governing the award of financial support representing more than 80% of the total NIH budget ($30.5 billion in FY2010) to the extramural scientific community and academic research institutions through both assistance and acquisition mechanisms by the Institutes and Centers (ICs) which comprise the NIH.
