Research Organization for Life Sciences and Environment

The Research Organization for Life Sciences and Environment (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Ilmu Pengetahuan Hayati dan Lingkungan, ORIPHL) is one of Research Organizations under the umbrella of the National Research and Innovation Agency (Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN). It was founded on 1 September 2021 as the Research Organization for Life Sciences (Organisasi Riset Ilmu Pengetahuan Hayati, ORIPH) transformation of Deputy II (Life Sciences) of Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, LIPI) after the liquidation of LIPI into BRIN.[1]

Founded on 1 September 2021 as ORIPH, ORIPH was transformation of Deputy II (Life Sciences) of LIPI after the liquidation of LIPI into BRIN. As research organizations of BRIN, as outlined in Article 175 and Article 176 of Chief of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021, every Research Organizations under BRIN are responsible and answered to Chief of BRIN. It also prescribed that the Research Organizations consisted with Head of Research Organizations, Centers, and Laboratories/Study Groups.[4] For the transitional period, as in Article 210 of Chief of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021 mandated,[4] the structure of ORIPH follows the preceding structure that already established during its time in LIPI. Due to this, the structure of ORIPH largely follows the Chief of LIPI Decree No. 24/2020.[5] In addition of the preexisting research centers, ORIPH also housed the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology after BRIN acquired it on 22 September 2021.[6][7] The name of Eijkman Institute later changed to Eijkman Molecular Biology Research Center, under the Life Sciences Research Organization of National Research and Innovation Agency.[8] On 22 September 2021, ORIPH constituting document, Chief of BRIN Decree No. 8/2021, signed by Laksana Tri Handoko and fully published on 8 October 2021.[9]

As ORIPH, the organization was briefly served as temporary house of Eijkman Molecular Biology Research Center. After controversy over Eijkman demotion and split, Eijkman later restructured by BRIN but they reorganized and transferred to Health Research Organization, no longer under ORIPH anymore.[10]

On 24 January 2022, it is announced that the organization extended with fusion of the former FORDA-MOF. The fusion will turn ORIPH to ORIPHL officially on 1 February 2022. The reorganization also transferred Eijkman Molecular Biology Research Center to Health Research Organization.[2]
