Abstract
It is my privilege to present to Congress the Biennial Report of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2008 and 2009. Thanks to ongoing congressional support, NIH continues the pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. Indeed, the contributions of NIH to improved health are countless and have touched the lives of not only all Americans, but also of millions of people around the world.
