Activity: NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Program Purpose and Accomplishments Program direction (Public Health Service Act, Title III, Part A) Purpose: This activity supports the Office of the Director of the Institute. Explanation: The Office of the Director includes the immediate Office of the Director and includes the administrative, secretarial, and clerical staff required for the administration, technical direction, and coordination of all Institute activities; the review of current and proposed programs; the introduction of new knowledge into currently operating programs; and the provision and supervision of centralized administrative services. Accomplishments in 1971: The Institute's contribution to the growing Federal responsibility for environmental quality is emphasized by the completion and publication in 1970 of the Report of the Task Force on Research Planning in Environmental Health Sciences. This report addresses itself to the broad array of environmental health problems and the potential means for their solution, with particular attention to those of greatest urgency. The report is important because it carries with each of the problems identified suggested means for their solution on the general, specific, short-range and long-range levels. During 1971, the Office of the Director will devote a significant portion of its resources to the establishment of effective and working relations with the newly created Environmental Protection Agency. Objectives for 1972: The Office of the Director will continue to devote most of its resources to the selection of the research questions which most need investigation and to the planning and direction of the total programs of the Institute.
