NIMR is one of the institutes of the Indian Council of Medical Research (an autonomous body under Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India).

The Institute also plays a key role in man power resource development through trainings/workshops and transfer of technology.

The major areas of research carried out over the years are on mosquito fauna surveys, development of genetic and molecular markers for important malaria vectors and parasites, cytotaxonomic studies identifying major vectors as species complexes and laboratory and field studies to examine the biological variations among sibling species, development of molecular identification techniques for sibling species, monitoring of insecticide resistance through space and time, climate change impacts, preparation of action plans, etc. have yielded valuable information. Field evaluation of new insecticides, biolarvicides, insecticide-impregnated bed nets, drugs and parasite diagnostic kits have provided new armament to malaria control.
