Liaisons</h1><div><p>Requesters may have questions or want to know the status of their request. All questions about a pending request, including those for a status may be directed to the FOIA Coordinator to whom the request was submitted. In addition, NIH and each of its components has a FOIA Requester Service Center available to answer questions or to provide a status regarding a pending request. For more efficient service, questions and inquiries should be directed to the Service Center contact for the NIH component to which the request was submitted. A complete listing of the FOIA Requester Service Center contacts is shown below. If, after contacting the appropriate FOIA Requester Service Center, a requester wants more information about a request, NIH and each component also has a FOIA Public Liaison who is available to provide information regarding FOIA requests. The listing of the FOIA Public Liaisons is shown below.</p> <h3>NIH Chief FOIA Liaison</h3> <p>NIH FOIA Office<br /> Building 1, Room 344<br /> 1 Center Drive, MSC 0188<br /> Bethesda, Maryland 20892-0188<br /> 301-496-5633 (phone)<br /> 301-402-4541 (fax)</p> <h3>NIH FOIA Requester Service Center Contact</h3> <p>NIH FOIA Office<br /> Building 1, Room 344<br /> 1 Center Drive, MSC 0188<br /> Bethesda, Maryland 20892-0188<br /> 301-496-5633 (phone)<br /> 301-402-4541 (fax)</p> <h3>NIH Component FOIA Requester Service Center Contacts and FOIA Public Liaisons</h3> <ul class="spaced"> <li><strong>National Cancer Institute (NCI)</strong><br /> FOIA Requester Service Center: phone no.
