The Natcher Conference Center is located at 45 Center Drive on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD. We encourage you to use public transportation, such as the Metrorail subway system, which has a convenient stop (Medical Center) on the NIH campus.
Visitors will be required to go through security at the NIH Gateway Center. They will be required to show one (1) form of identification (a government-issued photo ID-driver’s license, passport, green card, etc.) and to state the purpose of their visit. Please visit the NIH Visitor Information Site for important security and travel information prior to your visit.
