Welcome to the NIH Clinical Center. Our nurses say there is no other hospital like it, and I have to agree. Here you will find unique patient cohorts, state-of-the-art equipment, and one-of-a-kind services.

The Clinical Center has a rich history of supporting the NIH portfolio of clinical studies, with talented investigators and specialized infrastructure responsible for the many medical breakthroughs that have happened here.

In December 2010, the Congressionally mandated Scientific Management Review Board recommended that the NIH Clinical Center be more accessible to external investigators.

These collaborations represent an extraordinary opportunity to broaden research opportunities, stimulate research, and ultimately improve public health.

I invite you to explore current research at the NIH Clinical Center and consider how your research could benefit from collaboration.
