尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施莱弗国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所（NICHD）于1962年作为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的一个组成部分成立。儿童和儿童发展中心的使命主要致力于人类发展的许多方面，其广泛目标是通过研究确保出生健康和需要的婴儿，这些婴儿有机会在成年时不受身心残疾的损害，并能够充分发挥其潜力。

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) was established as a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1962. The NICHD mission is substantially devoted to the many facets of human development -- with the broad goal to ensure, through research, the birth of healthy and wanted babies that have the opportunity to reach adulthood unimpaired by physical or mental disabilities and able to achieve their full potential. The NICHD includes approximately 1,600 scientists, administrators and support staff who occupy 21 distinct locations in the Bethesda, Rockville, and Poolesville areas. Components of the NICHD have differing environments and needs. Operating environments include UNIX, Windows and MAC. Similarly, software for system operation, management and application support varies among departments.
