Summer Intensive Series - Sexual & Gender Minority Health: New this year, the NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO) sponsors a summer intensive series to enhance scientists' knowledge of sexual and gender minority (SGM) health research. Open to all trainees, including those outside of NIH, the series explores SGM health research, its intersection with science, policy, communication, and community engagement. Weekly sessions feature renowned SGM health researchers, panel discussions, breakout groups, and journal club discussions. Participants can attend one or multiple sessions, with a certificate of completion awarded for attending at least 5 out of 7 sessions. Visit the SGM Health Research SIS webpage  to learn more.

BECOMING A RESILIENT SCIENTIS SERIES IS BACK (Summer & Fall 2023)

 

The NIH OITE offers a series of workshops to help you develop your confidence and resilience in various challenging situations. The series includes four (Summer) or five (Fall) webinars, each followed by a small-group discussion. These sessions focus on strategies for academic success, thriving in research and healthcare careers, building resilience, overcoming obstacles, and mentoring. Attending the entire series is recommended as concepts and themes will be developed progressively, allowing you to integrate and refine the information. Previous participants reported increased resilience, improved stress management, and highly recommended the series. For more information and schedule, please visit here:

NIH Career Symposium

 

The 16th Annual NIH Career Symposium concluded last week after three exciting days of networking and career exploration. This virtual event provided a unique opportunity for trainees to hear directly from professionals across a wide array of careers to learn about their individual career stories and experiences. With over 6000 attendees from NIH and around the world and with 275 speakers & panelists, this was our largest Career Symposium to date. Recordings of the main talks from the symposium are now available to everyone on the OITE YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxnpU66KqCcj-FHpFDMkC3qRHVExBRjnu

 

While all events are free of charge, advance registration is required.  To register for events and read event descriptions, please visit Upcoming Events on the OITE website and locate the events that interest you or check the virtual summer enrichment curriculum calendar. Please subscribe to our mailing list, NIH-OITE-INFO, if you would like to receive summer updates and information on training programs at the NIH in the future.

 

We hope these opportunities will broaden your knowledge, inspire your curiosity in the field of biomedical research, and prepare you for success. Embrace this opportunity to engage with the NIH community and discover new possibilities in your own journey.
