Exploring basic biological mechanisms of natural products continues to be a strategic priority for the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). I’m pleased to share news that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), NCCIH, and National Institute on Aging (NIA) are jointly funding five research centers that will generate the data needed to support clinical trials of complex natural products, advance cutting-edge research approaches to these products, and develop the guidance and infrastructure needed to collect and share rigorous and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible) natural product data. Natural products include a wide variety of substances produced by plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals that have historically been used in traditional medicine and other complementary and integrative health practices.
