Three NIH Program Project Grants, a NIH Center Stress and Wound Healing Grant, and support from the NIH-sponsored General Clinic Research Center helped Ohio State’s psychoneuroimmunology group evolve into the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research. |
Work from Ohio State’s IBMR and other prestigious psychoneuroimmunology programs helped prompt the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1999, led by a Congressional mandate, to fund five national centers "to focus on research that seeks to understand how beliefs, attitudes, values and stress affect physical and mental health." Centers at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Michigan, Wisconsin and Miami were funded along with Ohio State. Ohio State’s Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research has garnered more than $92.5 million in NIH research grants in the last decade.
