How and Where NIAID Research Happens

NIAID directs and carries out scientific research in two ways: NIAID scientists conduct research in lab and clinical facilities at the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland and at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana. NIAID also directs research projects through contracts and grants to scientists at medical centers and research institutions throughout the world. Many contracts and grants are carried out through networks of facilities, which enable rapid response to emerging infectious disease outbreaks, such as H1N1.
