The NIH mission is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. NIH works toward that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories. Section 402 (b)(3) of the Public Health Service Act states that “the Director, NIH…shall assure that research at…the National Institutes of Health is subject to review in accordance with section 492.” Section 492(b) states that the “Director of NIH shall establish procedures for periodic technical and scientific peer review of research at the National Institutes of Health.” This Board assesses the quality of the Institute's intramural research programs and evaluates the productivity and performance of investigators, necessary functions for the operation of a highly effective intramural research program. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 Not Available e3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b 43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea64 42e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a77380273 2010-10-01 2011-09-30 2013-07-09 http://explore.data.gov/resource/datasets/c5i3-bb9j Gannon (J.)
