Secretary of Health and Human Services - Kathleen Sebelius
The National Institutes of Health (Home page: www.nih.gov) -
Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., Director
I built this page because I wanted to zero in on a couple of departments where family and friends are doing research and show where they fit into the organizational structure. I found this difficult at nih.gov. Most of the links below go to nih.gov pages, but I have custom links for NIA and HICHD.
I also have a list of Neuroscience links below
and a list of public health reference sources at the HHS page.
NIH's mission 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.
The National Institutes of Health is made up of 27 different components
called Institutes and Centers.
