The NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) is the internal research program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), known for its synergistic approach to biomedical science.〔http://sourcebook.od.nih.gov/oversight/NIH-IRP_Redbook.pdf〕 With 1,200 Principal Investigators and over 4,000 Postdoctoral Fellows conducting basic, translational, and clinical research, the (NIH Intramural Research Program ) is the largest biomedical research institution on earth.〔(Organization and Leadership | NIH Intramural Research Program )〕 The unique funding environment of the IRP facilitates opportunities to conduct both long-term and high-impact science that would otherwise be difficult to undertake. With rigorous external reviews ensuring that only the most outstanding research secures funding,〔(Blue Ribbon Panel )〕 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, Hemophilus influenzae (HIB), and human papillomavirus (HPV).〔http://sourcebook.od.nih.gov/oir/IRP_transition.pdf〕 In addition, the IRP has also produced or trained 21 Nobel Prize-winning scientists.〔 ==Mission== Within the framework of the NIH mandate, the Intramural Research Program’s mission is to: * Conduct distinctive, laboratory, clinical, behavioral, translational and population-based research that breaks new ground and defines scientific excellence 〔(About Us | NIH Intramural Research Program )〕 * Facilitate new approaches to improve health through prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment by developing and/or using innovative technologies, approaches or devices 〔 * Respond rapidly to critical public health needs 〔 * Train the next generation of biomedical and behavioral researchers 〔 * Foster sharing of information and dissemination of the IRP’s major discoveries to the public through partnerships with academic institutions and industry 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NIH Intramural Research Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
