About our National Institutes of Health news

Latest news on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), providing biomedical research updates, funding news, clinical trials and healthcare innovations.

The NIH, America's premier biomedical research agency, operates with a £45 billion annual budget and employs over 18,000 staff. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, it comprises 27 institutes focused on specific research areas, from cancer and infectious diseases to mental health.

Recent developments include the establishment of ARPA-H with £1.5 billion allocated in 2023 for high-risk, high-reward research projects. Under Acting Director Matthew Memoli, the agency balances fundamental discovery with translational research while facing challenges in funding priorities, clinical trial diversity, and maintaining scientific integrity.

The human dimension of NIH work is evident in its Clinical Research Center, where patients join cutting-edge trials, and through initiatives like the All of Us Research Program gathering health data from one million diverse participants to ensure medical advances benefit all communities equitably.

Founded in 1887 as a one-room laboratory, the NIH has achieved landmarks including fluoride's discovery for dental health, vaccines against hepatitis and HPV, and the Human Genome Project. During the COVID-19, pandemic, it partnered with Moderna on vaccine development and established the ACTIV programme for therapeutic interventions.

Our NewsNow feed delivers updates on NIH breakthroughs, funding opportunities, clinical trials, and policy developments from reliable sources, offering essential information about an institution whose work touches countless lives through its pursuit of better health for all.
