EVATAR Funding

 

EVATAR was funded entirely by the National Institutes of Health.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.

The NIH is the largest source of biomedical research funding in the world, and is the force that keeps America as the world leader in biomedical research. Since the beginning of the NIH in 1887, 148 Nobel laureates have received NIH funding. This publically funded research has had an impact on all of our lives. NIH funded research has directly contributed to an increase in life expectancy, and a decrease in deadly diseases. In recent years, nationwide rates of diagnosis and death from cancer and other diseases have continued to decline.

The NIH funds scientists and universities around the nation with one central mission: Turning Discovery Into Health. To read more about the type of research the NIH Funds, and the impact NIH funded research has on public health, visit their website.
