Purpose
The NIH Training Directors Committee is advisory to the Director,
Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE), who reports to
the Deputy Director for Intramural Research. It provides advice on
policy matters regarding intramural research training programs at the
high school, college, postbaccalaureate, predoctoral, medical, and
postdoctoral levels. The committee also provides a forum for the
exchange of information about training activities and offers input on
training goals and objectives, as well as programmatic initiatives.
Members are appointed by the Deputy Director for Intramural
Research.
In the past the committee has been involved in a variety of issues
including the development of a teaching skills course for
postdoctoral fellows, review of results from the NIH Fellows
Mentoring Survey, development of a postdoctoral on-line application
system, and collaborative projects such as the NIH Intramural
Database and Postdoctoral Recruitment Form.
