The teamwork between the NIH and America's medical schools and major teaching hospitals serves as the nation's driving force in the search for cures, new treatments, and better ways to improve health and save lives. At the core of the collaboration is the investment the NIH makes in research conducted at U.S. medical schools and teaching hospitals.
The AAMC launched the Fulfilling the Promise (FTP) campaign to build awareness of this collaboration, and to report on the progress academic medicine is making in research efforts to improve the nation's health.
