When we spoke with a diverse range of NIH employees about why they came to the NIH and why they stay, their number one response was the NIH mission. Whether you are providing administrative support or a nurse working directly with patients in the Clinical Center, the NIH mission touches all of us as employees, as a family member of those affected by disease, and as a patient.
Other reasons people join us at the NIH include the breadth and depth of resources available to staff, the stability of funding, intellectual stimulation and mentoring, the potential for collaboration, and the flexibility to pursue a different career path within the same organization.
