NIH Guidelines

NIH Guidelines are a set of rules established by the National Institutes of Health to ensure safe and ethical research involving certain biological agents, particularly those that could pose health risks. They provide standards for handling, storing, and working with these materials to protect researchers, the community, and the environment. The guidelines also include policies for preventing the misuse of research and promote responsible scientific conduct. In essence, they serve as a framework to promote safe and ethical practices in biomedical research.
