Now, we have set out a series of investment priorities with
that kind of strategy. Like most of the NIH, our major investment is in extramural
research. We�re funding 200 applications for research training and research around the
United States today, as well as a few growing internationally, and these fund a whole
range of approaches: Phase I to Phase III, clinical studies, pre-clinical mechanistic and
translational research, as well as research training. �We have established an
intramural laboratory and clinically based research program. � It�s emphasizing
clinical and translational studies of CAM approaches to age-related stressors. The
frailty, the dementia, the depression, the loss of bone mass that occurs with aging. And
that intramural program, as all intramural programs here, creates a nidus for research
training. |
