Not all of NIH is made up of institutes! There are 6 very important centers that are important:
 
NIH Clinical Center (CC)
The NIH Clinical Center, America’s research hospital, provides a versatile clinical research environment enabling the NIH mission to improve human health by investigating the pathogenesis of disease; conducting first-in-human clinical trials with an emphasis on rare diseases and diseases of high public health impact; developing state-of-the-art diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic interventions; training the current and next generations of clinical researchers; and, ensuring that clinical research is ethical, efficient, and of high scientific quality.
 
Center for Information Technology (CIT)
CIT incorporates the power of modern computers into the biomedical programs and administrative procedures of the NIH by focusing on three primary activities: conducting computational biosciences research, developing computer systems, and providing computer facilities.
 
Center for Scientific Review (CSR)
CSR is the portal for NIH grant applications and their review for scientific merit. CSR oversees and implements peer review for over 75% of the more than 88,000 applications submitted to NIH each year, as well as for some other components of HHS. The mission of CSR is to see that NIH grant applications receive fair, independent, expert, and timely scientific reviews — free from inappropriate influences — so NIH can fund the most promising research.
 
Fogarty International Center (FIC)
FIC promotes and supports scientific research and training internationally to reduce disparities in global health.
 
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)
The mission of NCATS is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing, and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.
 
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
The mission of NCCIH is to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and integrative health interventions and their roles in improving health and health care.
