NIH is made up of 27 Institutes and Centers, each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body systems.
Note: The organization's full name is followed by 1-its acronym; and 2-where applicable, the two-letter code used to identify it as the first major-level subdivision of the funding organization. The two-letter code is used in each funded project grant- number, e.g., in 5R01EY000000, EY= National Eye Institute). Please visit the website of the NIH Office of Extramural Research, where you can find the full NIH glossary and NIH acronym list, including two letter Institute and Center codes.
