National Organizations
National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is really 27 separate research institutes and centers, constituting the world’s largest source of funding for medical research in the world. With millions of dollars in NIH funding, Nemours researchers in the Delaware Valley and Florida are actively engaged in a wide range of studies and trials that can lead to significant advances for children.
Centers for Disease Control
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is dedicated to protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury and disability. While much of the CDC’s activity focuses on prevention programs, the agency provides grants that assist research organizations that contribute to the CDC′s mission through health information dissemination, preparedness, prevention, research and surveillance.
Muscular Dystrophy Association
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the world’s leading nonprofit health organization sponsoring research seeking the causes of and effective treatments for neuromuscular diseases. MDA research grants currently are supporting more than 250 projects worldwide. In addition to basic research, the MDA funds numerous translational research projects, which move promising new drug therapies into the clinic as rapidly and efficiently as possible and address critical weaknesses in the drug development process for rare diseases.
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a division of the National institutes of Health that focuses on cancer. NCI’s current research funding zeroes in on three important factors that affect many types of cancers:
- Co-morbidities — understanding how health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity complicate the treatment of many cancers
- Circulating tumor cells — understanding how tumors metastasize
- Reducing cancer health disparities — understanding and addressing the disproportionate burden of cancer among various racial and ethnic groups
American Lung Association
For nearly a century, the American Lung Association (ALA) has played a proactive role in funding research aimed at preventing and treating lung diseases such as asthma, lung cancer and others. ALA research has three components:
- Awards and Grants program
- Asthma Clinical Research Centers Network (ACRC)
- Epidemiology and Statistics program
