This paper explores the rise of the National Institutes of Health after World War II from the perspective of intramural scientists working at the NIH's main campus in Bethesda. Several postwar social circumstances-the local research tradition, the wartime experience of civilian scientists, the doctor draft, and anti-nepotism rules in academia-affected the recruitment of research-oriented scientists into the NIH. These historically contingent factors were no less important than the larger political, legislative context for the development of the NIH intramural program as a prominent research institution.
本文从在贝塞斯达国立卫生研究院主校区工作的内部科学家的角度，探讨了二战后国立卫生研究院的崛起。战后的几种社会情况——当地的研究传统、平民科学家的战时经历、医生征兵以及学术界的反裙带关系规则——影响了以研究为导向的科学家进入国立卫生研究院。这些历史偶然因素对于国立卫生研究院内部项目发展成为一个杰出研究机构而言，与更大的政治、立法背景同样重要。
