The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) is a mid-sized nonprofit that coordinates high-impact public-private partnerships to advance the NIH mission. Its work spans scientific discovery, translational research, and the dissemination of results, all aligned with NIH priorities. The foundation underwrites biomedical initiatives that private or wholly public funding may overlook, including high-risk or early-stage projects and global health efforts, and it can respond quickly to urgent needs while pursuing longer-term goals.

Based in North Bethesda, Maryland, FNIH operates within the nonprofit sector and serves both public and private actors seeking breakthroughs in human health. Recent developments include a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute on cancer vaccine programs and the launch of the NIH Alumni Network in 2026, alongside ongoing biomarker-focused work through the Biomarkers Consortium.
