About us
The Intramural Research Program (IRP) is the internal research program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), known for its synergistic approach to biomedical science. With 1,200 Principal Investigators and more than 4,000 Postdoctoral Fellows conducting basic, translational, and clinical research, the IRP is the largest biomedical research institution on Earth. Its unique funding environment means the IRP can facilitate opportunities to conduct both long-term and high-impact science that would otherwise be difficult to undertake. More than 50 buildings on NIH campuses are devoted to the research enterprise, from state-of-the-art animal care facilities to homes for 7-Tesla MRIs and confocal microscopes, to a neurosciences cluster designed to foster collaborations across disciplines. Our 240-bed research hospital is devoted to clinical research protocols. With rigorous external reviews ensuring that only the most outstanding research secures funding, the IRP is responsible for many scientific accomplishments, including the discovery of fluoride to prevent tooth decay, the use of lithium to manage bipolar disorder, and the creation of vaccines against hepatitis, Haemophilus influenzae (HIB), and human papillomavirus (HPV).

Dr. June Kwon-Chung knew from a young age that she wanted to become a scientist. Almost six decades after she arrived at The National Institutes of Health in 1966 as a Fogarty International Fellow, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for her groundbreaking research on fungal diseases.

Fibroblasts are cells that play a role in forming connective tissue throughout our bodies. These cells can also lead to fibrosis, a process that causes tissue to thicken and scar. #NIH_IRP researchers are studying the relationship between #fibroblasts, fibrosis, and a life-threatening condition called graft versus host disease.

In recognition of World Brain Day, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)’s Dr. Robert Innis describes his work in neuropsychiatry and evaluating how different methods of imaging neuroinflammation in the brain can play a role in understanding psychiatric disorders. Dr. Innis and his colleagues are investigating how new radioligands can help detect neuroinflammation in many disorders, including alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, Long-COVID, and depression. By investing in these key brain imaging tools, Dr. Innis hopes to more accurately evaluate how well new treatments work and contribute to advancing knowledge about psychiatric disorders.

IRP Scientists are working to share their research in a way that is short, sweet, and easy to understand. During The National Institutes of Health’s annual Three-Minute Talks competition, #NIH_IRP researchers touched on everything from how the bacteria and other microbes that live on our skin affect the development of acne to understanding how the brain adapts to a life-changing event such as giving birth. The annual competition gives researchers an opportunity to test their communication skills. Read on to learn more about the winners of this year's competition: https://go.nih.gov/7FhUjrd

Aslaan Siddiqi, a postbac research fellow at the The National Institutes of Health Health, is studying how the amygdala might boost the sense of reward and minimize the perception of risk related to substance use. By doing so, he and his labmates hope to discover a way to correct the skewed balance between risk and reward that contributes to substance use disorder. This research could one day make it easier for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction to quit.

The energy that powers our cells comes from three types of nutrients, so when the body resists using one form of fuel, it takes more of another. Some people's bodies can more easily make the switch between fuel sources based on what it needs. A new IRP study conducted by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)'s Dr. Paolo Piaggi and his colleagues suggests that people whose bodies have trouble moving from using carbs as fuel to burning fats might have larger appetites, and are more likely to gain weight over time.

The National Institutes of Health upcoming Director's Seminar Series will be presented by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Dr. Naoko Mizuno on July 12th. Dr. Mizuno's lab focuses on understanding cellular structure remodeling during morphogenesis and signaling. In this talk, Dr. Mizuno will discuss the lab's research on the decision-making processes of injured neuronal cells and how they may activate their regeneration switch. Date/Time: Friday, July 12, 2024, 12:00 to 1:00 pm Location: Wilson Hall, NIH Building 1; and NIH videocast Go here to learn more about the event: https://go.nih.gov/cE1Ivg8 #NIH_IRP
