NICHD supports a variety of research networks, centers, programs, and initiatives. These types of projects allow for large-scale research efforts that could not be done in a timely manner by researchers working alone.
Networks and projects often share core facilities and techniques that not only help accelerate progress toward a research goal, but also ensure that a study is large enough to be statistically significant.
