Foundation for the National Institutes of Health

The Foundation for the NIH is a not-for-profit organization that supports the mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by accelerating biomedical discoveries that improve the quality of people’s lives. 

We do this by forging strategic alliances that: 

- Leverage the scientific and technical ingenuity of researchers across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors; 
- Coordinate and focus scientific efforts strategically to maximize their impact; 
- Marshal resources – including scientific creativity, technical expertise, money and political will – to build a better future, together.
