National Human Genome Research Institute

The National Human Genome Research Institute is a U.S. federal biomedical research institute in Bethesda, Maryland, with a mission-driven, translational focus and a mix of intramural laboratories and collaborative programs. Corporate R&D teams engage through CRADAs and other NIH agreements, access shared core facilities and biorepositories, and collaborate on clinical studies at the NIH Clinical Center. The institute also stewards national data resources and advances standards that enable secure access, benchmarking, and validation. Research is backed by U.S. federal appropriations through NIH, with added support for collaborations via interagency and competitive mechanisms. Technology transfer uses NIH’s established IP, licensing, and CRADA pathways.
