 The Department of Clinical Bioethics
  Since its establishment in 1996, the Department of Clinical Bioethics has revitalized existing bioethics activities at the National Institutes of Health and launched a series of new educational and research initiatives. Included among our offerings are a 2-year fellowship program targeted to promising scholars with either undergraduate or doctoral-level degrees, and a variety of conferences and courses ranging from the ethics of human subject research to issues in managed care. The Department's research efforts are divided into three distinct areas: health policy, human subjects research, and genetics.
