	NIH's roots extend back to the U.S. Marine Hospital Service, established in 1798 to provide medical relief to sick and disabled men in the U.S. Navy. By 1870, a network of marine ~~hospitals~~ had developed and was placed under the charge of a medical officer within the Bureau of the Treasury Department.

By 1912, the "public health" aspect of the organization was fully being realized, aligning with the Natioanal Board of Health's initiatives, and the name was changed again to Public Health Services (PHS).<ref name="NIHAlmChron" />

			On May 26, 1930, the Hygienic Laboratory was re-designated as the National Institutes of Health by the Ransdell Act and was given $750,000 to construct two NIH buildings. Over the next few decades, Congress would increase its funding tremendously to the NIH, and various institutes and centers within the NIH were created for specific research programs.<ref name="NIHAlmChron" />

			In 1966, the Division of Regional Medical Programs was created to administer grants for research for heart disease, cancer, and strokes. That same year, the NIH director lobbied the White House for increased federal funding in order to increase research and the speed with which health benefits could be brought to the people. An advisory committee was formed to oversee further development of the NIH and its research programs.<ref name="NIHAlmChron" /><ref name="RMPNIH">{{cite web \|url=http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/retrieve/Narrative/RM/p-nid/96 \|title=Organizational Period (October 1965 to September 1968) \|work=The Regional Medical Programs Collection \|publisher=U.S. National Library of Medicine \|accessdate=22 March 2014}}</ref>

			In 1971, President Nixon signed the National Cancer Act, initiating a National Cancer Program, President's Cancer Panel, National Cancer Advisory Board, and 15 new research, training, and demonstration centers. This opened the door for the formal creation of the [[National Cancer Institute]] in 1972, followed by other cancer-based initiatives into the late '70s and early '80s. By the 1990s, the focus of the NIH committee had shifted to DNA research, and the Human Genome Project was launched.<ref name="NIHAlmChron" />

			===Funding===

			The funding of NIH has at times been a source of contention in Congress, serving as a proxy for the political currents of the time. This contention was seen most dramatically during the 1980s, when President Ronald Reagan repeatedly tried to cut funding for research, only to see Congress partly restore funding. The political contention over NIH funding slowed the nation's response to the AIDS epidemic; while AIDS was reported in newspaper articles from 1981, no funding was provided for research on the disease. In 1984, National Cancer Institute scientists found implications that "variants of a human cancer virus called HTLV-III are the primary cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)," a new epidemic that gripped the nation. However, it wasn't until July 1987, as NIH celebrated its 100th anniversary, that President Reagan announced a committee to research the HIV epidemic.<ref name="NIHAlmChron" />

			By 1992, the NIH had grown to encompass nearly 1 percent of the federal government's operating budget. It controlled nearly two-thirds of all public funding for health research and 85 percent of all funding for health studies in universities.<ref name="PriceMedAnthro">{{cite journal \|url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/649307 \|journal=Medical Anthropology Quarterly \|year=1992 \|volume=6 \|issue=2 \|pages=128–146 \|title=A Medical Anthropologist's Ruminations on NIH Funding \|author=Price, Laurie J. \|doi=10.1525/maq.1992.6.2.02a00030 \|accessdate=22 March 2014}}</ref>

The '''National Institutes of Health''' ('''NIH''') is a biomedical research facility primarily located in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, operating as an agency of the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services]]. The NIH is the U.S. agency most responsible for biomedical and health-related research, primarily through its Intramural Research Program (IRP), which claims to be "the largest institution for biomedical science on earth."<ref name="IRPAbout">{{cite web |url=http://irp.nih.gov/about-us/organization-and-leadership |title=Organization and Leadership |publisher=National Institutes of Health |accessdate=22 March 2014}}</ref> In addition to conducting its own research, the agency provides major biomedical research funding to non-NIH research facilities through its Extramural Research Program (ERP). For example, in 2003 the NIH and its extramural arm provided 28% of biomedical research funding spent annually in the U.S., or about $26.4 billion.<ref name="MedResMedPage">{{cite web |url=http://www.medpagetoday.com/PublicHealthPolicy/HealthPolicy/tb/1767 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120124613/http://www.medpagetoday.com/PublicHealthPolicy/HealthPolicy/1767 |title=Medical Research Spending Doubled Over Past Decade |author=Osterweil, Neil |publisher=MedPage Today |archivedate=20 January 2013 |date=20 September 2005 |accessdate=22 March 2014}}</ref>
