Director, Dr. Donald A.B. Lindberg
Biographical Sketch

The Director heads all constituent bodies within the NLM and directs its ongoing and future activities. He reports directly to Congress as well as to the Director of NIH. The Director is supported by the NLM Board of Regents, established in 1956 by the same Act that created NLM. It also serves as the advisory body to the Secretary of HHS; Assistant Secretary for Health; and the Director of NIH, on all important aspects of policy regarding the Library and is the final review body for NLM's extramural grant program.
