Collaboration and partnership are the foundation to a successful equity, diversity, and inclusion program. Collectively, there are many entities throughout the NIH community working to advance our agency in this arena. Every day, EDI is fortifying existing relationships with these stakeholders and establishing new relationships that make a difference for NIH.
We have started to collect a healthy list of NIH Institutes and Centers, special projects, and initiatives that have been building an equity, diversity, and inclusion foundation in their own spaces. Below are resources to programs exploring health disparities, work-life balance, workforce development, grants, learning and education, and clinical trials:
