The National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases

Celebrating 60 Years of Discovery: 1950-2010

The NIDDK was established as the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases in 1950 by U.S. President Harry S. Truman. Sixty years and four name changes later, one thing has never changed: the Institute’s commitment to improving health through high-quality research.  As we mark our 60th Anniversary, we hope you will join us in celebrating the rich history of advances made possible through the federal investment in research in our laboratories here in Bethesda, MD, and in Phoenix, AZ, and by grantees around the United States and beyond.

• View a video highlighting select advances from our 60th Anniversary publication, NIDDK: 60 Years of Advancing Research to Improve Health. 
• Attend special events, among them NIDDK's scientific symposium, Unlocking the Secrets of Science: Building the Foundation for Future Advances, September 21, 2010.
• If you are an NIDDK researcher or grantee, please acknowledge support by adding a slide to your presentation or label to your poster.
• View photos from selected events.
