The National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Intramural Research Program (IRP) is bringing you conversations with world-leading researchers working at the NIH IRP on problems across the spectrum of biomedicine. You’ll find out why they do what they do and how their efforts help people with rare and common conditions, from cancers to heart disease, mental health to genetic anomalies. Please tune in and share with your friends, family, and colleagues – and if you do, we hope you enjoy it. Find out more about the IRP, including our latest research advances, blog posts, events, and more by visiting our website at irp.nih.gov. Thank you for listening.

The IRP is the internal research program of the NIH, known for its synergistic approach to biomedical science. With 1,100 Principal Investigators and more than 4,000 Postdoctoral Fellows conducting basic, translational, and clinical research, the IRP is the largest biomedical research institution on earth.

Its unique funding environment means the IRP can facilitate opportunities to conduct both long-term and high-impact science that would otherwise be difficult to undertake. More than 50 buildings on NIH campuses are devoted to the research enterprise, from state-of-the-art animal care facilities to homes for 7-Tesla MRIs and confocal microscopes, to a neurosciences cluster designed to foster collaborations across disciplines. Our 240-bed research hospital is devoted to clinical research protocols.

With rigorous external reviews ensuring that only the most outstanding research secures funding, the IRP is responsible for many scientific accomplishments, including the discovery of fluoride to prevent tooth decay, the use of lithium to manage bipolar disorder, and the creation of vaccines against hepatitis, Haemophilus influenzae (HIB), and human papillomavirus (HPV).
