Volume 2: Impact on Global Health

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, MD
For more than 50 years, the mission of the national Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID)has been to conduct and support basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases with the ultimate goal of improving the health of individuals in the United States and around the world. As part of its mission to foster biomedical research and to reduce the burden of human disease, NIAID is committed to encouraging the accelerated translation of biomedical discoveries into effective clinical care and public throughout the world. In pursuit of this goal and its disease-specific scientific objectives, NIAID seeks to broaden its global impact by increasing scientific opportunities and collaborations involving scientists and institutions outside the United States. The ever increasing efforts of NIAID to combat the worldwide HIV/AIDS, malaria, as well as the increasing numbers of humans infected by highly virulent strains of avian influenza in Asia and elsewhere. NIAID is at the forefront of efforts to address these and other international health challenges by supporting programs in approximately 90 countries and to have dramatically increased spending on international activities in the past decade in a clear strategy to not only devote more resources within the United States to the study of diseases with global health importance, but also to develop the capacity for advanced research within resource-poor nations.
Extensive and in-depth, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH: Volume 2,Impact on Global Health is a valuable and comprehensive guide providing up-to-date accounts on the state of specific research endeavors in the areas of microbiology and infectious diseases (other than AIDS), HIV/AIDS, allergy, immunology, and transplantation, covering the research portfolios of the NIAID's extramural divisions of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, AIDS, and Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation. This volume comprises documents of the United States Government and other research information that is in the public domain. Nevertheless, this volume is not an official U.S. Government publication.
Features
Includes detailed up-to-date overviews of specific research endeavors in microbiology and infectious diseases (other than HIV/AID), HIV/AIDS, allergy, immunology, and transplantation.

From the reviews: "It is a rich and diverse set of information brought together in one place. ... This book is a reference resource, useful for any higher education institute or medical facility engaged in any form of biomedical research. Particularly helpful for anyone trying to write NIH grant applications or understand how to fund NIH programmes to complement their own work." (Maria Zambon, Microbiology Today, January, 2010)
