Major Initiatives
Protein Structure Initiative Information about an initiative to accelerate the determination of protein structures, with the ultimate goal of using experimentally determined structures to deduce the structures of related proteins based on their genetic sequences.
Pharmacogenetics Research Network Information about a nationwide research effort, sponsored by NIGMS and other NIH components, to foster collaboration between scientists studying the effect of genes on people’s responses to a wide variety of medicines.
Glue Grants An initiative to support large-scale collaborative efforts to address major research problems in a comprehensive and highly integrated fashion.
NIH Roadmap for Medical Research
The NIH Roadmap provides a framework for optimizing the NIH research portfolio. The plan lays out a vision for a more efficient and productive system of medical research.
