When you visit our Web site, we do not obtain information that will allow us to identify you personally unless you choose to provide such information to us.
To help us improve the site, we collect statistics about its usage. None of this information identifies individual users or the pages they visit.

About E-Mail
When inquiries are e-mailed to us, we store the question and the e-mail address so we can respond electronically. We do not store or use this information
for any other purpose. Unless required by law, we do not publicly identify those who send questions or comments to our Web site.
E-mail sent to RePORT may be seen by a number of people who are responsible for answering questions. If the information specialist who answers
the mail does not know the answer to your question, your query may be forwarded to another NIH employee who is more knowledgeable in that area.
In addition, you should be aware that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception.
Our Web site has links to other federal agencies, as well as links to private organizations.
Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.
About "Cookies"
While visiting sites within the RePORT.NIH.GOV domain, you may occasionally encounter a Web page that employs “cookies.”
A cookie is a small file that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard disk allowing our server to "remember" specific information about
your session while you are connected.

To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a Web site that uses cookies.
If you are concerned about the potential use of information gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to prompt you before
