About us
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) supports basic research that increases our understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMS-funded scientists investigate how living systems work at a range of levels—from molecules and cells to tissues and organs—in research organisms, humans, and populations. Additionally, to ensure the vitality and continued productivity of the research enterprise, NIGMS provides leadership in training the next generation of scientists, enhancing the diversity of the scientific workforce, and developing research capacity throughout the country. NIGMS is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the principal medical research agency of the federal government and a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Check out this purple and blue axolotl! These salamanders are often studied for their ability to regrow tails, limbs, spinal cords, brains, and more. Researchers at MDI Biological Laboratory are studying the role of the peripheral nervous system during limb regeneration. The axolotl pictured has been genetically modified so that its developing nervous system glows purple, and its Schwann cell nuclei appear light blue. Find more fascinating photos like this one through the link in the comments. #ResearchOrganism #Axolotl #CoolScienceImage

NIH implemented multiple principal investigator (MPI) grants starting in 2007 to support projects led by teams of principal investigators (PIs) who have shared responsibility and are each named as a PI for the award. Although the MPI arrangement can be effective in enabling single-grant supported projects for integrated teams working on common sets of goals, it isn’t the optimal approach for many collaborative projects and can pose challenges in some circumstances. Check out the latest #NIGMSFeedbackLoop blog for more information—link in the comments.
