PrintNHGRI Organizational Structure
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) led the participation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the International Human Genome Project (HGP). NHGRI directed and supported work on the sequencing of the human genome and now funds research on the genome's structure, function, and role in health and disease and supports studies on the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genome research.
NHGRI develops the resources and technology to accelerate genome research and its application to human health, trains investigators, and disseminates genome information to the public and to health professionals.
To carry out its diverse duties, NHGRI is organized into three divisions: the Office of the Director, the Division of Extramural Research, and the Division of Intramural Research:
