Important Information from the NIH Training Center
It is our honor to serve you. Please note that while our scheduled FY 25 classes are available for registration in our course catalog, many classes will only proceed when HHS lifts the current procurement hold on external purchases. In the meantime, NIHTC is receiving registrations as approved by IC final approvers. As always, NIHTC will refund tuition for any classes that we cancel. If you have questions about your IC’s budget, we advise that you consult with your IC leadership to abide by their budgetary guidance.
In today's complex, data-driven world, professionals face many "gray" areas in which they need to think critically and exercise personal judgment. This one-day class offers tools and techniques for sharpening the "gray cells" of the brain for clearer thinking and more effective decision-making. Participants will learn how to manage cognitive assumptions that interfere with reasoning and decision making, identify and avoid poor reasoning and persuasion techniques, and make decisions avoiding group think and reducing conflict.
