The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is a division of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), located in Bethesda, Maryland. The NIA itself is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The NIA leads a broad scientific effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life. In 1974, Congress granted authority to form NIA to provide leadership in aging research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs relevant to aging and older people. Subsequent amendments to this legislation designated the NIA as the primary Federal agency on (Alzheimer's disease ) research. NIA is led by Director, Richard J. Hodes, M.D, and Deputy Director: Marie Bernard, M.D. == Mission == NIA’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of older Americans through research, and specifically, to: *Support and conduct high-quality research on: * *Aging processes * *Age-related diseases * *Special problems and needs of the aged *Train and develop highly skilled research scientists from all population groups *Develop and maintain state-of-the-art resources to accelerate research progress *Disseminate information and communicate with the public and interested groups on health and research advances and on new directions for research. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Institute on Aging」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
