  • Mission [1]
    • The goal of NIH research is to acquire new knowledge to help prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat disease and disability, from the rarest genetic disorder to the common cold. The NIH mission is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. NIH works toward that mission by the establishment of a National Center on Sleep Disorders Research whose purpose is to support research training, training, health information dissemination, and other activities with respect to sleep disorders, and coordinate these activities with similar ones of other NIH components, Federal agencies and for-profit and nonprofit entities.
