Research Resources The National
Center for Research Resources supports
all aspects of clinical and translational
research, connecting researchers,
patients, and communities across the
Nation. NCRR’s matrix of extramural
programs enables discoveries made at
a molecular and cellular level to move
to animal-based studies and then to
patient-oriented clinical research. The
Center provides thousands of NIH-
funded laboratory scientists and clinical
researchers with the tools and training
they need to understand, detect, treat,
and prevent a wide range of diseases.
For further information, contact the National Center
for Research Resources. Phone, 301–435–0888.

Scientif‌i c Review The Center for
Scientif‌i c Review (CSR) organizes
the peer review groups that evaluate
the majority of grant applications
submitted to NIH. These groups
include experienced and respected
researchers from across the country
and abroad. Since 1946, CSR has
ensured that NIH grant applications
receive fair, independent, expert, and
timely reviews—free from inappropriate
inf‌l uences—so NIH can fund the most
promising research. CSR also receives all
incoming applications and assigns them
to the NIH Institutes and Centers that
fund grants.

Scientif‌i c Review. Phone, 301–435–1111. Internet,
