Welcome to the Hispanic Employment Program (HEP) Web site, brought to you by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The HEP is part of NIH's effort to address and assist in reversing the underrepresentation and underutilization of Hispanics in NIH and to better serve the nation's Hispanic community. The NIH HEP seeks to recruit talented candidates from outside the NIH; retain, promote, and develop current employees; and create a pipeline for addressing current and future workforce needs.

The NIH HEP is tied to the overall NIH Policy on Diversity Management. Through the HEP, the NIH is seeking to build relationships with Hispanic communities and engage them in the NIH’s vast scientific, technical, and research opportunities. The Hispanic Employment Program calls for strengthening the NIH’s outreach activities in a comprehensive effort to promote partnership opportunities with the Hispanic community in three critical areas: employment, education, and biomedical research.
