Mission Statement

The mission of the RCHSPB is to provide guidance, policies, procedures, and services to assist the investigators in the intramural community and those sponsored by the NIAID intramural programs in conducting clinical research of the highest quality, and in accordance with applicable regulations, standards, and guidelines.

The RCHSPB originated in June 2001. Branch staff consist of a Branch Chief, Clinical Research Oversight Managers, and administrative support personnel. A contract with SAIC-Frederick, Inc. provides staffing for key areas of the support that the branch provides. Each Oversight Manager is responsible for an area of research support and oversees the contract staff’s work.
