Narrative Description*	The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s medical research agency—making important discoveries that improve health and save lives. NIH’s mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. NIH works toward that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories, supporting the research of non-Federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the country and abroad, helping in the training of research investigators, and fostering communication of medical and health sciences information. The Office of Intramural Research (OIR) was responsible for oversight and coordination of intramural research, training, and technology transfer conducted within the laboratories and clinics of the NIH. The purpose of the Advisory Committee to the Deputy Director for Intramural Research (ACDDIR) was to advise, consult with, and make recommendations to the Deputy Director for Intramural Research (DDIR), NIH, and other staff within the OIR with respect to intramural staff training programs managed by its Office of Intramural Training and Education, technology transfer programs managed by its Office of Technology Transfer, as well as the programs managed by the Office of Animal Care and Use, the Office of Human Subjects Research, and the Office of NIH History. ACDDIR provided advice regarding specific accomplishments, overall strengths and weaknesses of a particular program, as well as recommendations for areas of possible scientific interest in the Intramural Research Program. In addition, ACDDIR also considered the overall design, content, development and/or delivery of training programs to specific groups, as well as recommendations concerning program and policy development and resource allocation.
