The idea for the National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH] was born on July 3, 1946, when then-president Harry Truman signed the National Mental Health Act. On April 15, 1 949, NIMH was finally established, becoming a part of the National Institutes of Health [NIH], The mission of NIH is to support biomedical research, which it does by conducting research in its own laboratories as well as by providing funds to scientists at other institutions. There are presently 27 NIH branches, and although considerable overlap exists among these different institutes and centers, NIMH is the main supporter of brain research topics such as neurochemistry. NIMH headquarters is located at the Neuroscience Center Building in Rockville, Maryland, but many of the staff work at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. 

In the United States, the National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) was created in 1998 as one of the many research institutes and centers within the prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH). This government research center collaborates with academic medical centers to evaluate specific nontraditional approaches to health and healing by conducting clinical trials and other scientific studies, as is done for drugs.
