NIH Honors 'Plain Language' |

In its annual salute to the agency's communicators,
NIH held the sixth Plain Language Awards ceremony on Apr. 19. Some
awardees traveled across the country to receive the honors, which
recognize NIH communication products that deliver messages clearly.
Special guest recipients who attended the event included several
representatives of the O'odham Nation and the communities of Gila

communication products, including a video on slowing kidney disease
and a calendar for people with diabetes.
