Investigators
NIMH Intramural Research Program (IRP) investigators, which include scientists, physicians, and clinicians, conduct research ranging from studies into mechanisms of normal brain function at the behavioral, systems, cellular, and molecular levels, to clinical investigations into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness.
Principal Investigators
Approximately 40 Principal Investigators (PIs) lead research groups that conduct biomedical or behavioral studies in our laboratories and clinics in Bethesda, Maryland.
Assistant Clinical Investigators
Assistant Clinical Investigators are talented, research-focused clinicians provided advanced mentoring and resources as they prepare to be competitive to apply for tenure-track positions at NIH or elsewhere.
Core Directors
Core Directors head research support facilities that provide access to instruments, technologies, expert consultation, and other services to investigators within and outside of NIH. They may also conduct research focused on methodology innovation.
Service/Team Directors
Service and Team Directors lead groups that provide specific types of clinical or technological support to researchers in the NIMH IRP, and sometimes beyond NIMH. They may also conduct independent and collaborative research.
Adjunct Investigators
NIMH Adjunct Investigators are scientists who work in the NIMH intramural setting or closely with NIMH research groups toward the NIMH IRP mission, but their primary career appointment is elsewhere.
Scientists Emeritus
Scientists Emeritus are distinguished IRP scientists who have retired but maintain an ongoing working relationship with the NIMH IRP.
