All Federal agencies are in the process of implementing the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) process of common credentialing and standardized background investigations required by HSPD-12. Because this initiative will affect nearly 40,000 employees, contractors and affiliates at the NIH, it is important that the entire workforce – every person being issued the HHS ID Badge, including those who have defined administrative functions for carrying out the PIV process – have easy access to training programs* that clarify their roles and responsibilities.
Preceding the mandatory training modules for the ID Badge Applicant and the various PIV Administrator positions you may want to watch a ‘Video Overview’ to become familiar with the new common PIV identification standard for federal employees and contractors.
The first training module, “ID Badge Applicant,” is directed to all individuals who will be issued a new HHS ID Badge. The five “Administrators” modules are specific to the various administrative roles required to ensure that each step in the enrollment and badge issuance process is conducted in a secure manner. Your Administrative Officer, Point of Contact or a Personnel Security Specialist within DPSAC is available to answer your questions to ensure a smooth transition to this new security protocol.
*These training modules were developed through the cooperative efforts of all the agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services.
