"What is something that you wish more people knew about NIH?
When you hear about a breakthrough in cancer research, or maybe in nutrition, in diabetes, or a basic science discovery about the brain, if it happened in an American academic institution, it's extremely likely it was funded by NIH. I wish everybody knew that taxpayer money is making possible advances across the board, in ways that have greatly, over the decades, enhanced human life and survival.
I also don't think a lot of people know that we run a hospital, NIH's Clinical Center, which is the largest research hospital in the world. Great things happen there: the first development of chemotherapy, the first human gene therapy, the development of lithium and ketamine for depression, and many more milestones. https://magazine.medlineplus.gov/article/research-is-the-key-insights-from-nih-director-dr-francis-collins
