Why should there be an NICHD?
Pediatrics.
2011 Feb.
Abstract
In its nearly 5 decades of existence, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has expended $23 billion in conducting and supporting research and translating discoveries to practice. The resulting dramatic impact on peoples' lives and improved health for children and families, chronicled herein, are a testament to the benefits of having this institute at the National Institutes of Health.
