Have public-health research funds been diverted in the U.S.?

摘要

The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) was set up in 1966 to prevent diseases caused by exposure to environmental hazards, such as toxic chemicals. NIEHS is considered the world's leading center for environmental health, and it is the only institute within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) family to focus on preventing rather than treating disease.
