FAES Community for Biomedical Innovation at NIH

FAES supports biomedical research at the NIH with academic programs and services to connect talented trainees as colleagues and scientists. The Community for Biomedical Innovation at NIH creates a hub at NIH where fellows collaborate, access affordable housing, and develop professional relationships to support and enhance their research productivity throughout their future careers.

As an independent nonprofit closely allied with the NIH, FAES is supplying the land and resources to build a new academic community to foster collaboration, creativity, and research among tomorrow's top scientists.

What Experts Say about FAES Academic Community?

This visionary center will connect great minds among its young scientists in a fresh way – NIH, as a federal agency, could not do this on its own, but it reflects how the private sector can advance the nation’s medical research agenda.

When I was training at the NIH, the courses and other academic activities by FAES gave me a solid scientific foundation. This new center will be transformational in training the outstanding biomedical scientists of the future.

Robert Lefkowitz, M.D.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2012)

This center will be a gift to the nation with a powerful impact on NIH research and the health of our citizens for generations to come.

New Community to Advance American Biomedicine

The FAES Community for Biomedical Innovation at NIH will provide 65 residential units for intramural scientists, a scholar Commons, or central gathering place, for researchers, and a new, state-of-the-art Academic Conference Center.

Each scholar house will be dedicated to a science luminary - honoring past brilliance to inspire future discoveries, and connecting researchers in their endeavor to advance science and medicine for public health.

A Legacy of Discovery

In 1959, 11 NIH scientists founded FAES to expand the horizons and education of NIH trainees. Now FAES is building for the future with resources to attract, train, and connect generations of talented biomedical research scholars at NIH to ease patient suffering and advance public health.

FAES supports the NIH mission of research and training in biomedical science by promoting the productivity and attractiveness of academic life at NIH.
