Description:Excerpt from Annual Report: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases The National Institute of Arthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIADDK) is responsible for a national program of research on a wide spectrum of diseases affecting virtually every family in the Nation. These diseases are among the most common, chronic, disabling and costly facing this country; they affect over 40 percent of our population, exact an enormous toll in terms of human suffering, and their economic impact exceeds $100 billion annually. These diseases, despite their apparent disparity, share fundamental mechanisms that results in a unique symbiotic and synergistic effect on the Institute's research programs. New knowledge generated in one group of diseases clarifies and contributes to progress in the fight against the others. Thus, the Institute represents a unique entity: externally it serves multiple interests, but internally its programs are intertwined and benefit from this close relationship. The Health Programs Extension Act of 1980 requires that the Director of NIADDK provide the President and the Congress an annual report on the Institute's progress in its research attack on these diseases. This Third Annual Report of the Director, NIADDK provides a chronicle of the numerous and impressive research advances of the year just finished, the opportunities they present for further research, and the plans developed to meet future needs. The research achievements described here reflect an explosion of new and promising knowledge that we are witnessing today. This would not be possible without the original ideas and dedicated efforts of the talented research workers who spearhead our fight against chronic and disabling diseases, and the credit for these advances should thus go to them. I hope that this third annual report will be as informative and gratifying to its readers as were its two predecessors.
