Description
Mission NIA, one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of [NIH](http://www.nih.gov), leads the federal government in conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The Institute seeks to understand the nature of aging and the aging process, and diseases and conditions associated with growing older, in order to extend the healthy, active years of life. In 1974, Congress granted authority to form NIA to provide leadership in aging research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs relevant to aging and older people. Subsequent amendments to this legislation designated NIA as the primary Federal agency on Alzheimer’s disease research. Read more about [NIA's history](https://www.nia.nih.gov/about/history). Mission The Institute's mission is to: - Support and conduct genetic, biological, clinical, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging. - Foster the development of research and clinician scientists in aging. - Provide research resources. - Disseminate information about aging and advances in research to the public, health care professionals, and the scientific community, among a variety of audiences. NIA pursues this mission by funding extramural research at universities and medical centers across the United States and around the world; maintaining an active communications and outreach program; and conducting a vibrant intramural research program at NIA laboratories in Baltimore and Bethesda, Maryland. Today, the population in the world is older than ever before. NIA supports and conducts research to better understand the aging process, as well as diseases and conditions that can occur as we grow older, such as Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Watch this video to learn more about NIA’s mission, history and research that has led to important scientific discoveries about healthy aging.
