National Institute of General Medical Sciences Notice of Proposed 
Reorganization

ACTION: Announcement of public forum.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) 
will host two public online forums to enable public discussion of the 
Institute's proposal to reorganize its Division for Capacity Research 
Building (DRCB) and Division of Pharmacology, Physiology, and 
Biological Chemistry (PPBC) by creating a new branch in each division.

DATES: The first public online forum will become available on July 17, 
2023, and will remain open for five (5) calendar days, through July 21, 
2023. The second online public forum will take place on July 26, 2023, 
at 11:30 a.m. EDT.

ADDRESSES: The first public forum will be held online, at https://www.research.net/r/NIGMS_DRCB_PPBC_REORG_2023 for the period of time 
listed above. The second public forum will be held online, at: https://nih.zoomgov.com/j/1604118277?pwd=NkhsS0E3ekN3VU8zUFRaZG5EUUdWQT09, on 
the date listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ayanna Vest, Supervisory Management 
Analyst, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, NIH, 
[email protected], or 301-827-4889.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NIH Reform Act of 2006 (42 U.S.C. 281 
(d)(4)) requires public notice of proposed reorganization plans. This 
announcement and the public forum serve as that notice. The proposed 
DRCB reorganization seeks to provide much-needed infrastructure to 
afford the most effective management support for the Native American 
Research Centers for Health (NARCH) and the IDeA Network of Clinical 
and Translational Research

(IDeA-CTR) related programs. The proposed PPBC reorganization seeks to 
provide forward-looking leadership to better produce scientific 
advances in the clinical sciences, and to support research 
opportunities in the chemistry/biochemistry areas. Creation of a new 
branch will enable improved management at NIGMS and enhance the impact 
of its funded research. The online forums will allow members of the 
public to review the reorganization proposals and submit comments.
