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 The DDIR's Bulletin
Board. Both of these publications are available electronically to
NIH staff. Some central coordination for the groups is provided by the
Office of Intramural Research.
