Conditions Governing Access

This collection may contain materials with sensitive or confidential individual and patient information, as well as sensitive information about the grant funding process, that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations. As such we are unable to make fully available publicly much of these materials. Those that have been made available have been carefully redacted so as to remove all personally identifiable information (PII).

Researchers can request access to items through this site but should be aware that many items will require extensive redactions, or in some cases will be unable to be made available. In these cases, NHGRI History of Genomics staff will work with researchers as much as possible to fullfill requests but we cannot guarantee full compliance with every request.

Custodial History

Materials were left at the NHGRI upon Dr. Collins leaving the NHGRI in 2008 to eventually become the NIH Director in 2009. They were initially stored on location at the Office of the Director (OD) until being processed and scanned and moved into storage onsite at the NIH Campus, Building 31. Materials were then sent to NARA Federal Records Center at Suitland, Maryland for permanent storage. None of these materials are housed onsite on the NIH campus.
