NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552) provides individuals with a right to access to records in the possession of the federal government. The government may withhold information pursuant to the nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the Act.

If you have questions regarding FOIA requests pending with NICHD or questions specific to NICHD records, please contact the FOIA Requester Service Center by phone at (301) 496-9737.

To read about the types of information you can request through FOIA or submit a FOIA request with NIH, visit the National Institutes of Health FOIA page.
