- Mission [1]
- The NIH Advisory Board for Clinical Research shall advise, consult with, and make recommendations to the Director, NIH, the
NIH Deputy Director for Intramural Research, and the Director, Clinical Center. The Board provides guidance for the integration
of clinical research initiatives in the intramural clinical research programs by developing an integrated operating strategic
plan for clinical research. This plan includes: development of a shared vision for the intramural clinical research program
taking into account the clinical research visions of all ICs; making recommendations on strategies for integrating proposed
research initiatives considering their possible effects on the current and future intramural clinical research program; reviewing
and recommending an annual strategic operating plan for the Clinical Center; and, conducting annual review of each NIH institute's
or center's performance with respect to its annual operations plan for using Clinical Center resources. Although the scope
of the Board's responsibilities relates only to the intramural clinical research program, the Board will also be open to new
opportunities for clinical research, including high-risk, high-impact research, research in rare diseases, and interactions
between intramural and extramural clinical research programs. The Board will review and recommend the Clinical Center's annual
budget to the intramural Working Group of the NIH Steering Committee. The Board will review the process by which the Medical
Executive Committee approves credential and privileging actions and the continuous improvement of the quality of clinical
activities in the Clinical Center; and annually evaluate the Clinical Center's Board of Scientific Counselors' process for
review of independent research conducted by the Clinical Center's investigators.
