Please

paragraph three.
1. It would be best to begin your research by exploring the Health and Human Services (HHS) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH)
websites. Familiarize yourself with the history and mission of these
agencies. Do not include this information in your essay. Do these
websites provide a transparent explanation of how they are funded?
Probably not, and you will need to do further research…
2. HINT –
There are three possible ways for these agencies to be funded: federal
allocations (your tax dollars), user fees (usually pharmaceutical
companies), and private donations. Your research must uncover which
possible funding sources are related to the HHS and NIH. Who gives what
and how much?
