Office of the Scientific Director
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Office of the Scientific
Director (OSD) provides leadership and managerial oversight for all research
and related activities within the Institute's Division of Intramural Research.
OSD creates and maintains a productive research environment through the effective
management, coordination, and prioritization of NHGRI research activities. This
is accomplished by providing overall scientific leadership and by overseeing
activities that are central to the successful day-to-day operation of the NHGRI
Intramural Program, primarily through the Administrative Management Branch and
the Professional Development Office.
In conjunction with the NHGRI Board of Scientific Counselors, OSD has the primary
responsibility for performing regular external reviews of all NHGRI research
programs, ensuring their continued high quality and relevance. OSD staff, in
particular the Scientific Director and Deputy Scientific Director, serve important
liaison roles between NHGRI and other National Institutes of Health (NIH) components
by representing the Institute on various NIH-wide committees.
Finally, OSD promotes activities intended to increase interactions among its
scientific staff, through seminar series, the annual NHGRI scientific retreat,
and other programs intended to highlight the Institute's investigators and their
research.
