NIH Inter-Institute Interest Groups are assemblies of scientists
with common research interests. These groups are divided into seven
broad, process-oriented parent groups, or faculties, and more than 30
smaller, more focused groups centered on particular research models,
subjects or techniques. The latter groups are initiated and run by
scientists in the Intramural and Extramural Research Programs at NIH.
The interest groups sponsor symposia, poster sessions and lectures;
offer mentoring and career guidance for junior scientists; help
researchers share the latest techniques and information; act as
informal advisors to the Deputy Director of Intramural Research
(DDIR); provide advice for the annual NIH Research Festival; and
serve as hosts for the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series. Many of
these groups are cosponsored by neighboring academic and government
institutions and welcome interested non-NIH scientists. Information
about group activities or new groups is published in The NIH Catalyst and on The DDIR's Bulletin Board. Both
of these publications are available electronically only to NIH staff.
Some central coordination for the groups is provided by the Office of
Intramural Research.
