<p>NIH-funded supercomputing instruments enabled researchers to determine the efficacy of four COVID 19 vaccines. Advanced computations conducted using these instruments helped inform timely decisions on the initial authorizations of COVID-19 vaccines, which later received FDA approval and were critical to saving lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

<p>NIH supported research on a new approach to surgically repair tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by using a patient’s own tissue. This has<strong> </strong>led to changes in clinical practice, with surgeons no longer using donor tissue in young athletes.</p>

<p>The osteoporosis treatment romosozumab was developed thanks to foundational work supported by NIH to understand the mechanisms of bone formation. Approved by FDA in 2019, this medicine is prescribed to prevent bone fractures, which are common in people with osteoporosis.</p>

<li>Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures.</li>

<li>NIH-funded work helped to establish proteins as therapeutic targets for osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases. </li>

<li>In the 1960s, NIH researchers discovered that the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus—making hCG the earliest marker of pregnancy.</li>

<li>In 1977, FDA approved the first at-home pregnancy test, which tested for the presence of hCG, and was developed based on NIH research. The first test became available in 1978 and cost $10.</li>

<p>In 2020, CMS began covering acupuncture for the treatment of chronic low back pain in Medicare patients, based on NIH-supported research that acupuncture is an effective form of management for this type of pain in adults 65 years or older. Today, many private insurance plans also cover acupuncture for this condition.</p>

<li>One-third of U.S. adults 65 years of age or older experience lower back pain, but many treatments suitable for young adults are inappropriate for older adults due to them having other existing conditions.</li>
