In 1999, a division of NIH called the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) became the Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). NCCAM facilitates the training of researchers and funds specific research projects. This has resulted in useful clinical data regarding a whole host of treatments for an even greater list of ailments.
