National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) - english information
United States of America (USA)
The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) was initially established (in 1962) to investigate the broad aspects of human development as a means of understanding developmental disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the events that occur during pregnancy. Today (april 2011), the Institute conducts and supports research on all stages of human development, from conception to adulthood, to better understand the health of children, adults, families, and communities. Some of these topics include reducing infant deaths, improving the health of women, men, and families, understanding reproductive health and fertility/infertility, learning about growth and development, examining, preventing and treating problems of birth defects and intellectual and developmental disabilities and enhancing well-being of persons through the lifespan with optimal rehabilitation research.
