1931 Research begins at the NIH, discovering fluoride effective enough to prevent tooth decay. From then on, successful scientific investigations at NIH would lead to the discovery and eradication of a number of diseases, including undulant fever, pellagra and psittacosis. Researchers would often contract the diseases they study.[5]

1989 The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is established as an institute of the NIH. From its inception, the NHGRI would carry the role of the NIH in the Human Genome Project, having a strong participation. The same year, the NIH-DOE Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) working group is created to examine and put forward options for the development of the ELSI component of the Human Genome Project. [6][8]
2000 The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is established as an institute of the NIH.[6]

It would require all NIH-funded researchers to deposit electronic copies of their peer-reviewed manuscripts into the National Library of Medicine’s online archive, PubMed Central (PMC).
