NICHD Office of the Clinical Director

NICHD临床主任办公室(OCD)目前的临床研究组合包括临床试验、罕见疾病的自然史研究以及药物和设备开发。临床研究计划目前包括71个方案，由30名NICHD首席调查员和210名副调查员进行。大约一半的方案包括儿科患者，其中许多人专注于罕见疾病。25%(25%)的方案涉及研究药物或设备。目前的研究领域包括发育障碍、人类健康发育、发育内分泌学、神经科学、遗传学、翻译成像、儿科和生殖内分泌学、不孕不育、生育保护和人口健康。这些临床研究活动由NIH临床中心(CC)的患者参与的NIH内壁研究计划(IRP)管理。在NICHDs临床研究计划和服务的背景下，在NIH临床中心提供高质量和安全的患者护理是至关重要的。 国立卫生研究院内部和研究所之间的伙伴关系和合作努力，以及通过与国家领先学术机构的研究协议在外部进行的伙伴关系和合作努力，以及通过技术转让或合作研发协议与产业界的伙伴关系，促进了科学和尖端科学研究的进步。强调培养鼓励创造性的临床研究环境，并扩大暑期实习生、毕业后研究实习生以及各种基础科学和临床学科的博士后和临床研究员的基础科学知识。临床主任办公室的各个组成部分是为了实现NICHD的使命：NICHD领导研究和培训，以了解人类发展，改善生殖健康，改善儿童和青少年的生活，并优化所有人的能力。

The NICHD Office of the Clinical Director's (OCD) current clinical research portfolio includes clinical trials, natural history studies of rare diseases, and drug and device development. The clinical research program currently includes 71 protocols, conducted by 30 NICHD Principal Investigators and 210 associate investigators. Approximately half of the protocols include pediatric patients, of which many focus on rare diseases. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the protocols involve investigational drugs or devices. Current research areas include developmental disorders, healthy human development, developmental endocrinology, neurosciences, genetics, translational imaging, pediatric and reproductive endocrinology, infertility, fertility preservation, and population health. These clinical research activities are governed under the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) with patient participation in the NIH Clinical Center (CC). Delivery of quality and safe patient care in the NIH Clinical Center is vital in the context of NICHDs clinical research programs and services. Partnerships and collaboration efforts both inter- and intra- NIH institutes and externally through research agreements with leading academic institutions nationally, and partnerships with industry through technology transfer or cooperative research and development agreements foster advancement of science and cutting-edge scientific research. Emphasis of nurturing a clinical research environment which encourages creativity and expanding fundamental scientific knowledge of summer interns, post-baccalaureate research trainees, as well as post-doctoral and clinical fellows in various basic science and clinical disciplines. The various components of the Office of the Clinical Director are to achieve the mission of NICHD: NICHD leads research and training to understand human development, improve reproductive health, enhance the lives of children and adolescents, and optimize abilities for all.
