The NIH mission is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. NIH works toward that mission by: conducting research in its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-Federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the country and abroad; helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of medical and health sciences information. Section 492 of the Public Health Service Act states that "The Secretary...shall by regulation, require appropriate technical and scientific peer review of (A) applications...; (B)...biomedical and behavioral research and development contracts..." The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council provides second level peer review, makes recommendations for support of grants, contract proposals, and cooperative agreements; advises on policy development, program implementation and evaluation; and identifies research needs of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 Not Available e3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b 43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea64 42e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a77380273 2010-10-01 2011-09-30 2013-07-09 http://explore.data.gov/resource/datasets/c5i3-bb9j Gannon (J.)
