Who We Are

The Division of Technical Resources (DTR) within the NIH Office of Research Facilities (ORF) provides technical consultation, comprehensive design review, oversight, and quality assurance for design and construction documents for NIH intramural and extramural biosafety level (BSL-) 2, 3, and 4 Biomedical Laboratories, Animal Research Facilities, Aseptic Production Facilities (APF), NIH Data Centers, NIH grant projects, and the NIH Central Utility Plant (CUP). DTR conducts scientific bio-environmental research and studies to advance emerging technologies used in biomedical research facilities. DTR develops Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and other technical guidance for processes unique to the NIH mission. DTR ensures that all projects within DTR's purview conform to applicable regulations, codes, standards, policies, and guidelines.
