NIH Websites Are Changing
NIH is moving the launch of its new website to the fall to ensure the best possible experience for everyone who relies on our websites for health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources.
Featured Website
Understanding COVID-19 PCR Testing
Testing is important to stop the spread of COVID-19. PCR tests for COVID-19 are very accurate. They make many copies of the virus’ genetic material in a sample. That lets the test detect very low levels of virus.
Learn more about how PCR testing works.
