How Does the NIH Contribute to Infectious Disease Research?
The NIH contributes to infectious disease research through funding, conducting, and supporting a wide array of studies aimed at understanding, preventing, treating, and controlling infectious diseases. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the NIH, is primarily responsible for research in this field. NIAID funds research that addresses the mechanisms of infectious diseases, develops vaccines, and explores new treatment methods.
