The Office of Intramural Research (OIR) is responsible for oversight and coordination of intramural research, training, and technology transfer conducted within the laboratories and clinics of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH's intramural facilities are located on the main campus in Bethesda, Md., as well as in Research Triangle Park, N.C., (NIEHS); Baltimore, Md., (NIDA, NIA, and NHGRI); Frederick, Md., (NCI); Hamilton, Mont. (NIAID); and Phoenix, Ariz., (NIDDK). Organizationally, the individual laboratories and sections answer to the 27 Institutes and Centers of NIH which conduct applied and basic biomedical research in particular disease or subject areas. OIR's responsibility is to develop and implement NIH-wide projects, policies, standards, and review for Intramural research, training, and technology transfer.
In addition to the immediate staff of the Office of Intramural Research, OIR is comprised of:
Policy Development and Communication
NIH's Deputy Director for Intramural Research (DDIR), Michael M. Gottesman,
M.D., heads the OIR. The work of
the office is developed and carried out in conjunction with the Scientific
Directors of NIH's Institutes and Centers. The Board
of Scientific Directors meets twice monthly with the DDIR,
September through June, and monthly in July and August. Policy decisions and
changes are documented in the Board's minutes.
New policy developments are highlighted in two publications of the OIR: The NIH Catalyst,
a bimonthly newsletter for and about the Intramural Research Program, and the DDIR's Bulletin Board, an electronic newsletter published approximately biweekly. The DDIR's Bulletin Board is available to
intramural staff on NIH's web site or by Listserv
subscription. To subscribe, send an email message to Listserv@list.nih.gov. The
body of your message should read: subscribe DDIRBB-L firstname lastname.
A
recent document of interest is the NIH Intramural Research at the Threshold of a New Era.
Key NIH policies are found in the NIH Manual
Chapters. OIR
provides a summary of policies governing intramural research in the Intramural
Research Sourcebook. This includes the Guidelines for
the Conduct of Research, the NIH Intramural Tenure-Track, Processes for
Resolution of Conflicts, A Guide to Training and Mentoring in the
Intramural Research Program at NIH, A Guide to the Handling of Scientific
Misconduct Allegations in the Intramural Research Program of the NIH, and
other documents.
