The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is the Federal Government''s lead agency for scientific research on the diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. The mission of NCCAM is to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative medicine interventions and their roles in improving health and health care. NCCAM sponsors and conducts research using scientific methods and advanced technologies to study CAM. CAM is defined simply as a group of diverse medical and health care interventions, practices, products, or disciplines that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. NCCAM has four primary areas of focus: # Advancing scientific research: We fund research projects at scientific institutions across the United States and around the world. # Training CAM researchers: We support training for new researchers as well as encourage experienced researchers to study CAM. # Sharing news and information: We provide timely and accurate information about CAM research in many ways, such as through our Web site, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media tools, our information clearinghouse, fact sheets, Lecture Series, and continuing medical education programs. # Supporting integration of proven CAM therapies: Our research helps the public and health professionals understand which CAM therapies have been proven to be safe and effective. We are 1 of the 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Mayo Graduate School has a distinguished history of achieving its mission to prepare students for careers as competitive, independent research investigators. The distinctive character of Mayo Clinic''s program stems from a core curriculum of courses covering many basic science disciplines. The Ph.D. Program places heavier emphasis on research training than coursework -- a natural outgrowth of Mayo''s role as a leading center for investigation in the life sciences. Mayo Graduate School offers a Ph.D. degree in biomedical sciences with an emphasis in one of seven areas of specialization: * Biochemistry and Molecular Biology * Biomedical Engineering * Immunology * Neurobiology of Disease * Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics * Virology and Gene Therapy * Clinical and Translational Science
