Announcements | Director's Message from Helene M. Langevin, M.D.
September 27, 2022 For too long, our human health has been viewed through a narrow set of lenses, focused on specific body parts or systems, and on the pathways toward disease, rather than toward health. Over the last few years, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has worked to advance research on whole person health, to help drive a paradigm shift and bring all aspects of our health into a clearer picture. |

If you intend to submit a National Institutes of Health (NIH) application next year, you should know there are big changes coming. Its been on the horizon for several years, but the newNIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policywill go into effect starting with applications received on or after January 25, 2023. Responsible data management and sharing has many benefits, including accelerating the pace of biomedical research, enabling validation of research results, and providing accessibility to high-value datasets.
