NIH Websites Are Changing

NIH is moving the launch of its new website to the fall to ensure the best possible experience for everyone who relies on our websites for health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources.

Global Health Initiatives at NIH

NIH is made up of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs), each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body systems. Many of the ICs are engaged in global health research and research training activities.

In addition, the NIH Common Fund's Global Health program supports several cross-cutting trans-NIH programs that involve global health.
