About us
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) understands that equity, diversity, and inclusion are critical, scientific imperatives that allow NIH to achieve its goal of turning discovery into health. Accordingly, NIH is deeply committed to advancing diversity and inclusion, and ensuring that the experiences and contributions of all members of our community are valued while also protecting and honoring their civil rights. Throughout the years, the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion has worked diligently with critical stakeholders to advance NIH’s equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts. A variety of offices, working groups, committees, and affinity groups were established to foster a work environment where equal employment opportunity is a reality, and diversity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our Agency. It is when the experiences of all people are valued, their unique perspectives are understood, and they are encouraged to be creative and innovative, that our discoveries in biomedical research advance the health of our Nation. Engagement ≠ Endorsement

NIH is dedicated to improving the postdoctoral experience to retain and attract our nation’s brightest scientific minds and remain globally competitive. To re-envision NIH’s postdoctoral experience, we are seeking feedback from the biomedical research community. Responses are due by October 23, 2024.
NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD
