Mission of the Laboratory:
The mission of the NIEHS is to reduce the
burden of human illness and disability by understanding how the
environment influences the development and progression of human disease. To have the greatest impact
on
preventing disease and improving human health, the NIEHS focuses on basic science, disease-oriented
research, global environmental health, and multidisciplinary training for researchers. The NIEHS achieves
its
mission through: extramural research and training, funded by grants and contracts, to scientists, environmental
health professionals, and other groups worldwide; intramural research conducted by scientists at the
NIEHS
facility and in partnership with scientists at universities and hospitals; toxicological testing and
test validation by
the National Toxicology Program; and outreach and communications programs that provide reliable health
information to the public, and scientific resources to researchers.
