About The Division of Extramural Research
The Division of Extramural Research (DER) supports and administers the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in genomic research. In consultation with the broader genomic community, the DER supports grants for research and for training and career development at sites nationwide.
Three branches perform the work of this division. The Extramural Programs Branch administers and supports grants for extramural research, institutional training, fellowships, career awards and minority awards in support of genomic research; plans and supports activities that advance genomics; and directs the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Program, which explores the ethical and policy issues raised by genetic research. The Scientific Review Branch plans and conducts the initial peer review of most of the research applications to NHGRI. The Grants Administration Branch oversees the fiscal aspects of NHGRI grant programs.
The DER also provides administrative management for three chartered advisory committees whose members review NHGRI's intramural and sponsored research.
