National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its own research and the funding of outside projects, seeks to understand disease inside and out. An agency of Public Health Services (part of the US Department of Health and Human Services), NIH is the government's primary medical research entity. It is made of 25 institutes and centers involved in nearly every medical discipline, ranging from general medical sciences to alternative therapies. More than 80% of NIH's budget goes to some 2,000 universities, hospitals, corporations, and research laboratories in all 50 states and several foreign countries. NIH-funded programs include sequencing the fruit fly genome, detailed brain mapping, and the Human Genome Project.
