Dr. Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D, director of the National Institutes of
Health, announced the release of the Biennial Report of the Director, NIH, for
fiscal years 2008 and 2009. The report provides an integrated portrait of NIH
research activities, making it easy for Congress, advocates and patient groups
and the general public to understand the many activities of the agency. This is
the second report under the mandate in the NIH Reform Act, which reinvented the
NIH Biennial as a consolidated report, replacing many disparate ones. Now on
NIH's website, the report will be available in print this fall. The report is available on the NIH website at: http://report.nih.gov/biennialreport/
The website also provides an opportunity to provide NIH with feedback about
ways to enhance the report to improve NIH transparency and
accountability.
