About
The Clinical Center Research Hospital Board (CCRHB) was established in 2016 to oversee operations at the NIH Clinical Center focused on fortifying a culture and practice of safety and quality and strengthening leadership for clinical care quality, oversight and compliance. A new Chief Executive Officer position was established, and under this leadership, the 2019 CC Strategic Plan titled, "People, Places, Capabilities: The NIH Clinical Center at 65 Strategic Plan" introduced new priorities to transition the CC to a high reliability clinical research organization ensuring the best achievable patient outcomes. The CCRHB actively engages with CC and NIH leaders to consider a host of new or updated capabilities, improved facilities, and infrastructure, while fully supporting existing CC staff and preparing the next generation to tackle tough biomedical research issues within a vibrant culture of patient safety and regulatory compliance.
