Unrestricted gifts allow us the flexibility to use them where they are most needed, from supporting core operations to developing new partnerships and emerging program ideas. Donors also can choose to restrict their gifts to an area of interest, such as a biomedical research program; a fellowship, lecture or symposium that trains scientists and helps them build their careers; or a specific laboratory or area of scientific research at the NIH.
We are grateful to the many individuals and organizations who made donations, gifts and pledges in 2015. Every attempt is made to list donors according to their wishes. Please call 301.402.4976 if you have any questions.

We are grateful to the many individuals and organizations that have established funds or endowments at the FNIH to pay tribute to people and causes that matter to them. Such gifts provide essential ongoing support for research and education, as well as events in biomedicine at the NIH. Endowment gifts at all levels help to advance the pace of discovery and generate innovations that improve lives.
Named funds are created to support specific areas of research or fellowships, lectures or awards at the NIH.
