The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The CIDR program seeks to support health and disease research by providing high-throughput genotyping, sequencing, and statistical genetics services. These services are intended to assist in identifying genes or genetic modifications that contribute to human health and disease, or to augment well-phenotyped specimen collections in biorepositories with genetic data. The program offers cutting-edge genomic services and support, focusing on work beyond the scope of individual investigator laboratories.
