NIAID's Role in Global Research

NIAID supports the conduct of global research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases and conditions. In addition to advancing these scientific goals, NIAID’s global research helps to improve the health of millions of people around the world, to protect the United States against infectious disease threats, and to promote international economic and political stability. Together, these efforts establish NIAID as a leader in global health.
