The National Institutes of Health (NIH) serve as the “steward of medical and behavioral research for the nation.” The NIH advances its mission—to uncover information that will ultimately improve the health of everyone—by conducting research in laboratories at its institutes; supporting research at colleges, universities, medical schools, and hospitals; sponsoring the training of researchers; and promoting the dissemination of health-related information. The website offers vital health information alphabetically by topic and provides the opportunity to link to other websites within its institutes.
