National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
(NIAID) — Est. 1948
NIAID research strives to understand, treat, and
ultimately prevent the myriad infectious, immunologic,
and allergic diseases that threaten millions of human
lives.
How is NIH Organized?
• Director’s Office – sets policies, represents NIH to
Congress, public, has modest discretionary $, etc.
• Institutes and Centers (I/C’s) – Each has focus, e.g.,
NCI, NIAID, NHBLI, NIDDK, etc.
– Develop Specific Programs and Priorities
– Intramural and Extramural
• Intramural conducts research
• Extramural - Administer funding awards
• Center for Scientific Review (CSR) – special function to
review grants via study sections (sometimes called
Scientific Review Groups or SRG’s) directed by
Scientific Review Officers (SRO’s).

Diarrheal Disease
• Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death in
children under five years old.
• It is both preventable and treatable.
• Each year diarrhea kills around 760,000 children under
five.
• Diarrhea is a leading cause of malnutrition in children
under five years old.
• A significant proportion of diarrheal disease can be
prevented through safe drinking-water and adequate
sanitation and hygiene.
• Globally, there are nearly 1.7 billion cases of diarrheal
disease every year.
Credit: WHO
Hepatitis
• Hepatitis viruses B and C cause acute and/or chronic
infection and inflammation of the liver.
• Major causes of severe illness and death.
• The global burden of disease due to acute hepatitis B and
C and to cancer and cirrhosis of the liver is high (about
2.7% of all deaths)
• Forecast to become a higher ranked cause of death
over the next two decades.
• 57% of cases of liver cirrhosis and 78% of cases of
primary liver cancer result from hepatitis B or C virus
infection.
Credit: WHO
Hepatitis
• An estimated two billion people worldwide have been infected with
hepatitis B virus
• 360 million have chronic (long-term) liver infections.
• 620 000 people die every year as a result of hepatitis B virus
infection.
• A vaccine against hepatitis B has been available since 1982.
• Some 150 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus
• 350,000 people are estimated to die from hepatitis C-related liver
diseases each year.
• Vaccination is one of the strategies used to prevent hepatitis infection.
• Vaccines exist against hepatitis A and B.
• Effective candidate vaccines for hepatitis E prevention exist.
• Progress has been shown in developing candidate vaccines against hepatitis C
