The NIH Staff Scientists/Staff Clinicians (SS/SC) Organization was conceived in 2004 to represent the more than one thousand Staff Scientists and Staff Clinicians(external link) who work at the NIH. In 2018, the Staff Scientists and Staff Clinicians became two distinct organizations to address the different needs of the positions.

The aims of the NIH Staff Scientist Organization (SSO) are to:

  • represent all the NIH Staff Scientists to their Institutes and the NIH
  • promote networking and both intra- and inter-Institute collaborations
  • create a repository of resources and expertise provided by the SSO
  • organize seminars and workshops on cutting edge and emerging technologies
  • foster career development through seminars and workshops on management, mentoring, lab organization, databases, etc.
  • to inform and answer questions concerning Staff Scientist at NIH
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

The mission of the NIH Staff Clinician Council is to advocate for the professional development of staff clinicians (physician and dentists) and to support the ongoing provision of high-quality and cutting-edge clinical care to NIH patients and research subjects.
