EDI To Host Unity in Diversity Forum

NIH’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) will host the inaugural EDI Forum, “Unity in Diversity: Building a Stronger NIH Community through DEIA,” on Tuesday, Oct. 8 from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET and Wednesday, Oct. 9 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET at the Natcher Conference Center.

Equal employment opportunity and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) are critical imperatives that allow NIH to achieve its goal of turning discovery into health. The forum will explore how embracing diversity enriches our work and drives innovation, resilience and collective progress.

This event is open to all NIH staff. NIH Director Dr. Monica Bertagnolli and HHS Assistant Secretary for Administration Cheryl Campbell will provide the forum’s welcoming remarks. The forum will offer presentations and trainings around key topics and focus areas divided into the following tracks: equal employment opportunity compliance, DEIA and program evaluation and policy.
