NIH Delays New Website Launch to Fall to Improve User Experience

What changed

NIH is moving the launch of its new website to the fall. The site is intended to bring together health information, research, funding opportunities and other resources, with the delay aimed at improving the experience for people who rely on NIH websites.

Why it matters

A website serving that many functions has to work for very different needs, from finding health information to navigating research funding. The new timing means users will wait longer for the replacement, but NIH is presenting the delay as a way to make the launch more reliable and useful.

The specific launch date has not been announced.
