[edit] Untitled

Initial information from www.nih.gov : "Unless noted otherwise, it is safe to assume that information posted on public Web sites within the "NIH.GOV" domain are considered to be "in the public domain.""

[edit] Grammar: Number agreement

Does anyone else feel that the subject/verb agreement in the first sentence needs revision? Or does "National InstituteS of Health" take the singular?

I believe it is correct as it is. The National Institutes, collectively, comprise the agency reffered to in the first sentence. "Institutes" is plural only nominally; grammatically, "The National Institutes" acts as a single entity and is thus treated with a singular verb. It's kind of like these sentences: "The United States is one hell of a country!" and "The Washington Redskins is a poor football team." :P

Notice the same usage of a singular verb on the official NIH site (http://www.nih.gov/about/; emphasis added): "The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research."

[edit] Grant Information

It is currently very difficult to find information on the different kinds of grants that scientists can apply for under different situations. I have added a link to the overview website (buried fairly deeply, too). Perhaps it would be useful for wikipedia to have a good overview on grants and the application process?

[edit] Institutes

At least within the Office of the Director section the lists of institutes is far from exhaustive. I think this should be stated somewhere, as it could be misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.166.243 (talk) 01:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Individual studies

I just removed a section on an individual study here for discussion. The NIH funds a great many studies, and I expect that this section would be better suited to some individual article. - 2/0 (formerly Eldereft) (cont.) 15:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Changes

I admit it, I am currently working at the NIH. I corrected a couple very minor details but I don't believe there are any conflicts of interest. Just a desire to focus the article and add some accuracy. --Jcoireangus (talk) 18:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
