More Information

The goal of this study was to determine the optimal NIH organizational structure, given the context of twenty-first century biomedical research science. The following questions were addressed:

Are there general principles by which NIH should be organized?
Does the current structure reflect these principles, or should NIH be restructured?
If restructuring is recommended, what should the new structure be?
How will the proposed new structure improve NIH's ability to conduct biomedical research and training, and accommodate organizational growth in the future?
How would the proposed new structure overcome current weaknesses, and what new problems might it introduce?
