The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds biomedical research in many areas including cancer, infectious disease, aging, environmental health, diabetes, and metal health. Investigators apply for grant funding by proposing specific research goals, experimental design, and applicability to improving human health and disease management. Proposals are peer reviewed and awarded based on available funding and NIH priorities.
Testing volumes need to increase by orders of magnitude in order to restore communities back to normality. This workshop focuses on solutions that equip laboratories to participate in expand...
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
