what is the IRP? • A national commitment to high-impact research • Scientific exploration dedicated to improving public health in this country and around the world • A pioneering bench-to-bedside program that pushes boundaries and opens minds Science that touches lives. Research that matters.

accomplishments Human Genome Project The HPV Vaccine Ketamine in Depression The IRP played a central role in mapping our 3 billion base pairs. To date, the HGP has created an estimated economic return of 178: 1 The IRP led 20 years of research eventually leading to the production of a vaccine that has already reduced the prevalence of HPV by 50%. Traditional therapies for depressive disorders take weeks to work. IRP researchers have discovered that ketamine can reduce symptoms in just minutes. Game-changing accomplishments sewn into the fabric of global public health.
