The National Institutes of Health, otherwise referred to as NIH, is federal government agency operating within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that's primarily responsible for supporting the country's biomedical and health-related research studies.

The programs and grants of the NIH are all geared towards the realization of its overall agency 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."
