| The Executive Secretariat (ES) maintains the official files
for the NIH Director, which include correspondence addressed
to the NIH Director, responses that are signed by the NIH Director,
and some other documents signed by the NIH Director.
Although our primary mission is to serve the NIH Director,
these files contain documents that are also of interest
to: |
 |
Offices throughout the NIH, |
|
Congress and congressional oversight
committees, |
|
the courts, |
|
historians and graduate students,
and |
|
private citizens through Freedom
of Information Act Requests. |
|
|
To learn more about how we conduct extensive searches in
the NIH Director’s files you may review our Guidelines
for Document Searches.
While we are pleased to serve a variety of users, we would
like to remind you that a request for a document is best
directed to the office that maintains the official file for
the document.
Some documents for which the official file location is elsewhere
at the NIH or the Department of Health and Human Services include:
|
|
responses to correspondence
addressed to the NIH Director that are signed by someone
other than the NIH Director, |
|
individual personnel actions, |
|
Federal Register notices, and |
|
major NIH reports, briefing
books and materials, investigative reports, organizational
changes, committee management documents, and other significant
documents generated in offices other than the immediate
office of the NIH Director. |
