NIH Reform Act

Bill 119 s 664, also known as the "National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Replacement Act," proposes to replace the current National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) with three separate national research institutes. The bill aims to restructure and enhance the focus on research related to allergies and infectious diseases. The three proposed institutes would be the National Institute of Allergy Research, the National Institute of Infectious Disease Research, and the National Institute of Immunology Research. Each institute would have its own specific focus and mission, allowing for a more targeted approach to research in these important areas of public health. The bill seeks to improve coordination and collaboration among researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals working in the field of allergies and infectious diseases. By creating separate institutes with distinct areas of focus, the hope is that research efforts will be more streamlined and effective in addressing the growing challenges posed by these health issues. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 s 664 is to enhance research and innovation in the fields of allergy, infectious diseases, and immunology by restructuring the current NIAID into three separate institutes. This reorganization is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of research efforts in these critical areas of public health.
