The NIH is divided into two parts: the "Extramural" parts of NIH are
responsible for the funding of biomedical research outside of NIH, while the
"Intramural" parts of NIH conduct research. Intramural research is primarily
conducted at the main campus in Bethesda, Maryland and the surrounding
communities. The National Institute of Aging and the National Institute on
Drug Abuse are located in Baltimore, Maryland, and the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences is in the Research Triangle, North Carolina.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIAID, maintains
Rocky Mountain Labs in Hamilton, Montana, with an emphasis on virology.
