Synopsis

This book details the Environmental Services Branch (ESB) of the Division of Research Services (DRS) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), covering the period from July 1969 to June 1970. The ESB provides scientific, technical, and engineering services to support the research programs of the NIH. Responsibilities include managing technical services sections, instrument fabrication and systems maintenance, supply, engineering and applied science, and satellites. The author emphasizes the need for improved coordination of program activities, better communication between sections, and increased staff training and utilization through the implementation of a basic staff classification plan. The book documents improvements in environmental control devices and the establishment of a virology laboratory. ESB played a vital role in addressing biological hazards and improving the quality of water used in NIH laboratories. This book will be of interest to those involved in the history of the NIH, the development of biomedical engineering and instrumentation, and the evolution of environmental health and safety practices in research institutions.
