Global Health Research Information by NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices

NIH is made up of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs), each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body systems. Many of the ICs are engaged in global health research and research training activities.

In addition, the NIH Common Fund's Global Health program supports several cross-cutting trans-NIH programs that involve global health.
