Ethics Issues Ever Evolving
Final HHS Conflict of Interest Regulations Announced |
| By Carla Garnett |
Reasonable, evenly applied rules and constant
conversations about ethics are what will keep NIH's reputation
for top science and reliable health research intact, according
to NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni, who announced the latest and
final regulations to prevent conflicts of interest at the agency
on Aug. 25. In the works since interim final regulations were published
last February, the new revised standards were effective Aug. 31,
when they appeared in the Federal Register.

| New NIH Gateway Center To Open In Summer 2007 |
|
 |
|
A new NIH Gateway Center is under construction
near the Medical Center Metro Station. |
Visitors to NIH's main campus can expect a new
kind of welcome, come summer 2007. That's the projected completion
date for the 139,440-square-foot Gateway Center being built beside
the Medical Center Metro station at the South Dr. entrance to campus
from Rockville Pike.
Three structures make up the facility: a 2-level visitor center
(Bldg. 66) for identifying and orienting campus guests, a visitor
vehicle inspection station (Bldg. 66A) and a 2-level, 350-slot
underground parking lot called multi-level parking garage 11 (MLP-11).
In addition, a new roadway off southbound Rockville Pike will be
constructed for visitor vehicles. They will use the road to enter
or exit the parking garage, or, after screening, to gain access
to areas within the perimeter fence via the campus's main road,
Center Drive.
