February Announcements

The NIH Workplace Civility and Equity Survey has Launched

This survey is open to all NIH fellows and trainees who joined on or before July 17, 2022. Your participation in this survey is critical for shaping our efforts to create a workplace that is conducive to the highest quality of research and is inclusive, diverse, and harassment-free for all staff.  

Last month, you should have received an email invitation from NIHWorkplaceCES@mail.nih.gov with an individualized link to complete the survey. Your response is confidential. No one at NICHD or NIH will have access to individual responses. The survey will remain open for a six-week period through February 24, 2023.
 
For more information on the NIH Workplace Civility and Equity Survey, please contact NICHDWDPS@mail.nih.gov or Jemma Robinson, Chief, Workforce Development and Planning Section (jemma.robinson@nih.gov), or visit the survey website at hr.nih.gov/wces.
