The NIH Telephone and Services Directory Is Available On-Line

If you found the white, printed NIH Telephone and Service Directory (TSD) very handy, you will find the on-line version—eTSD—even more so. Everything you found in the printed version is here. The eTSD is an important resource for employees, new staff members, and visitors since it provides immediate and easy access to pertinent information on basic topics. Moreover, the electronic version can be updated more frequently than the hardcopy version, which is printed semi-annually.

The eTDS has a comprehensive compilation of information and phone numbers, including:

• personnel: locate an employee in the NIH Enterprise Directory (NED)—an alphabetical personnel listing for the entire NIH community (on and off campus)


• organizations: learn about each NIH IC, including abbreviations and acronyms


• health information: search for a topic, or browse for it alphabetically


• services: locate a service by name, organization, or search for it


• staff meetings: confirm meeting times and membership of NIH-wide meetings

The eTSD also includes "Quick Links" to Emergency Services, the NIH Transhare program, and more.

How Is the eTSD Maintained?

Organizational information on services and committee meeting schedules is supplied by individual ICs. Personnel information is provided by a link to the NED. This is the same information that is used to prepare the hardcopy telephone book (which will continue to be printed) and the NIH Telephone Operator's information system.
