NIH Reform Act
This bill separates the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) into three separate institutes: the National Institute of Allergic Diseases, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the National Institute of Immunologic Diseases.
The bill also requires that the President appoint the directors of the new institutes (under current law, the Director of NIAID is appointed by the Director of the National Institutes of Health). It further requires that the Senate confirm the appointment of the directors of the new institutes and the National Cancer Institute.
