Granting agencies USA:
Federal
National
Institutes of Health
The NIH's mission is to uncover new
knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone.
NIH works toward that mission by conducting research in
its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-Federal
scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals,
and research institutions throughout the country and abroad;
helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering
communication of medical information.

to bear on drug abuse and addiction through support and
conduct of research across a broad range of disciplines
and rapid and effective dissemination of results of that
research to improve drug abuse and addiction prevention,
treatment, and policy.
National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
NIMH provides national leadership dedicated to understanding,
treating, and preventing mental illnesses through basic
research on the brain and behavior, and through clinical,
epidemiological, and services research.
National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
The mission of the NINDS is to reduce the burden of neurological
diseases -- a burden borne by every age group, every segment
of society, and people all over the world. To accomplish
this goal the NINDS supports and conducts research, both
basic and clinical, on the normal and diseased nervous
system, fosters the training of investigators in the basic
and clinical neurosciences, and seeks better understanding,
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders.
National
Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)
NINR supports clinical and basic research to establish
a scientific basis for the care of individuals across
the life span--from the management of patients during
illness and recovery to the reduction of risks for disease
and disability; the promotion of healthy lifestyles; the
promotion of quality of life in those with chronic illness;
and the care for individuals at the end of life. This
research may also include families within a community
context, and it also focuses on the special needs of at-risk
and under-served populations, with an emphasis on health
disparities.

receipt point for all such Public Health Service (PHS)
applications and makes referrals to scientific review
groups for scientific and technical merit review of applications
and to funding components for potential award. To this
end, the Center develops and implements innovative, flexible

prevalence of disease, burden of illness, and mortality
experienced by American populations who suffer from health
disparities, including racial and ethnic minorities and
other groups, such as the urban and rural poor.
National
Center for Research Resources (NCRR)
NCRR advances biomedical research and
improves human health through research projects and shared
