Leadership Group for a Clinical Research Network on Antibacterial Resistance Program

by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The National Institutes of Health, otherwise referred to as NIH, is an agency operating within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that's primarily accountable for ensuring and financially supporting the country's biomedical and health-related research studies.

The grants and initiatives of the NIH are all designed to contribute to the realization of its general agency mission which is to "seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability."

In line with this mission, the National Institutes of Health has collaborated with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in an attempt to establish the Leadership Group for a Clinical Research Network on Antibacterial Resistance Program wherein both agencies tend to support the common goal of seeking applications from domestic institutions/organizations expressing their intent to serve as the Leadership Group for a Clinical Research Network on Antibacterial Resistance.

The primary purpose of this inquiry is to create, prioritize, implement, and manage and integrated clinical research program that could potentially lead to the alleviation of antibacterial resistance.
