Office of the Director

The Office of the Director (OD) oversees general operations, administration and communications for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The director's office provides overall leadership; sets policies; develops scientific, fiscal and management strategies; and coordinates genomic research for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with other federal, private and international programs. The office also supports international meetings, workshops and other activities essential to the efficient international coordination and exchange of data.

The OD is divided administratively into the Office of Policy, Communications and Education(OPCE), which develops policy on the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of human genome research, disseminates information about the NHGRI; and the Office of Administrative Management, which provides administrative services and financial, personnel and grants management.
