Summary

National Institutes of Health Reform Act of 2006 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to: (1) reorganize the National Institutes of Health (NIH); (2) establish the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (the Division); (3) limit the total number of national research institutes and national centers; and (4) establish procedures for future NIH reorganizations. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish the Scientific Management Review Board to advise the appropriate officials on the organization of NIH. Requires the Secretary, acting through the Director of NIH, to: (1) be responsible for program coordination across national research institutes and national centers; (2) ensure that scientifically based strategic planning is implemented in support of research priorities; and (3) ensure that NIH resources are sufficiently allocated for research projects identified in the strategic plans. Requires the Director to establish the Council of Councils to advise the Director on matters related to the policies and activities of the Division. Requires the Secretary, acting through the Director, to establish an electronic system to uniformly code NIH research grants and activities. Sets forth NIH reporting requirements to Congress, the Secretary, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. Allows the Secretary, acting through the Director, to allocate funds for the national research institutes and national centers to make grants for the purpose of improving the public health through demonstration projects for biomedical research at the interface between the biological, behavioral, and social sciences and the physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences.
