TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) – The Mental Health and Well-Being of Biomedical Researchers – Feedback


PURPOSE:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) carries out and funds biomedical research in an effort to prevent and cure common and rare diseases. We also train the next generation of doctors, researchers, and medical support staff who will improve human health in the future, both across the country and around the world. Navigating school, the career exploration process, research environments, and the stress of national/international news can seem overwhelming and lead us to doubt ourselves just when we need confidence the most. Through workshops and group discussions, the OITE will sponsor a series of monthly virtual programs focused on the health and well-being of biomedical research workforce. Each session will include a lecture, question & answer session, and optional small group discussions facilitated by mental health practitioners.

  2. Mental health and wellness through a cultural lens
