As of this date, Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 have been revised and updated, as indicated by their green cover sheets. The rest of the update will be published chapterby-chapter through 2024 as chapters are completed to release the information as quickly as possible. Updated chapters and appendices will replace the current DRM chapters and appendices as they are published. Legacy chapters from Revision 1.5 will retain their blue covers until they are updated, at which point their covers will become green. Projects referencing the DRM for guidance will be held to the edition that is in effect at the time the project is awarded. It is recommended that the project team download the most current version of the DRM available on the date of award and notate the referenced version in all project documentation.  \n*The Design Requirements Manual is a living document and will be maintained and updated on a regular basis.

The DRM is the only detailed design requirements and guidance manual of its kind. The information compiled within the 2024 DRM is the result of technical studies that have set numerous national and international standards, lessons learned, and ever-advancing architectural and engineering technologies used in the design and construction of NIH facilities. The Division of Technical Resources (DTR) is responsible for maintaining and updating the DRM.  \nIn order to ensure the most current, relevant, and comprehensive manual, DTR continuously researches and tests state-of-the-art and innovative technologies. DTR has gathered data from these studies as well as from numerous years of specialized experience and an accumulation of lessons learned. This has led to data-driven decision making and best practices for the design and construction of NIH’s facilities. The results of these studies are incorporated into the 2024 DRM and new information will be added as it becomes available.  \nThe 2024 DRM builds upon the strong foundation of the 2016 edition. Much of the information and guidance remains the same, reviewed with an eye to the latest developments in facility design and lessons learned from seven years with the 2016 DRM and the intent to fine-tune existing content. DTR assembled over 100 professionals from industry, academia, and government including designers, architects, engineers, researchers, veterinarians, maintenance staff, biosafety specialists, and others, all with expertise in a variety of disciplines and unique insights into the complicated design, construction, and functional issues involved in building NIH facilities. Dedicated groups reviewed each chapter, examining and identifying content to be updated in order to provide the best possible practicesand guidance for DRM users. This process helped DTR fine-tune the DRM’s design guidance and standards, which will help support the NIH mission for years to come.  \nThe NIH Design Requirements Manual aligns the NIH facilities program with the Office of Research Facilities’(ORF) mission of “Supporting NIH p","cbCaie1Lz6mjcmH0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie1Lz6mjcmH0","pdf",22443377,1237,"English","# Design Requirements Manual\n## Revision 2.1 (8/2/2024)\n## Preface\n## Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"What does DRM Rev. 2.1 establish for NIH facilities design?\",\"answer\":\"It establishes policy, design requirements, standards, and technical criteria for planning, programming, and designing NIH owned, leased, operated, and funded buildings and facilities.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the updates in Rev. 2.1 applied to existing DRM content?\",\"answer\":\"Updated chapters and appendices replace current ones as they are published, starting with Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 shown with green cover sheets.\"},{\"question\":\"Which DRM edition must a project reference when it is awarded?\",\"answer\":\"Projects must be held to the edition in effect at the time the project is awarded, and teams are recommended to download the most current version on the award date and note it in project documentation.\"}]","NIH Design Requirements Manual - Rev. 2.1 - Living Document Update | PDF",1791025785,3117]
