The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Scientific Review has announced the creation of a new Division of Healthcare, Population and Behavioral Sciences. The new division replaces the Division of Clinical and Population-based Studies. The change is intended to realign review in the areas of Behavioral, Social and Population Sciences and AIDS research.

Within the division, the current Health of the Population Integrated Review Group will be split into Epidemiological and Population Sciences and Healthcare Delivery and Methodologies in order to keep the groups at an ideal size.
