The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) is adjacent to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) on the grounds of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) in Bethesda, Maryland.

Via Metro Rail
Take the Metro Rail Red Line train to the Medical Center station (Metro system map). Take the escalator to the surface and walk toward the bus area. WRNMMC campus shuttles (Blue Line or Gold Line) depart every 15 minutes from the station from 6:10 a.m. to 8:55 a.m. and will stop directly in front of AFRRI. Upon boarding the shuttle, have photo identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport, military ID, or other government-issued ID) ready to present to security at the gate. The shuttle service does not operate between 8:55 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Service resumes at 2:45 p.m. and runs until 5:30 p.m. If walking from the Medical Center Station, cross Rockville Pike at the traffic light onto South Wood Road and enter the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center installation. Present identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport, military ID, or other government-issued ID) at the guard booth. Twenty yards after the guard booth, turn right onto Palmer Road South and continue past the hospital on your left, past a stop sign, and across the bridge. AFRRI will be on your left at the end of the bridge.
