Originally established in 1999 to integrate the work of basic and clinical scientists on the NIH campus, the Bench-to-Bedside Program expanded in 2006 to encourage partnerships between intramural and extramural programs.

To date, about 500 principal and associate investigators have collaborated on 152 funded projects with ~$32M distributed in total bench-to-bedside funding.
