Explore NIAID new media and online tools to get the latest health information when and where you choose.
NIAID continues to embrace technology as an efficient and effective means to communicate with the general public, physicians and healthcare providers, the biomedical community, academia, state and local governments both national and international, and constituents and other specialized groups. Providing health and research information in various electronic formats and through multiple technologies helps NIAID deliver information when and where people choose.
To continue to provide easily accessible information, NIAID has embraced "Web 2.0" technologies that focus on engagement, online communities, collaboration, and innovative applications.
