2023 DDM Seminar Series Schedule

We hope you joined us for the first Deputy Director for Management (DDM) Seminar, “Forging the Hybrid Workplace,” on December 15th, which featured Alexandra Samuel, who shared her insights on how to carve a path towards a thriving and productive hybrid work culture. If not, you can find the archived videocast—along with other previous DDM seminars—on our Past Seminars page.

The FY23 DDM Seminar Series continues with topics that address purposeful inclusion; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in the workplace; and preventing Zoom fatigue. In addition, we anticipate hosting two hybrid seminars in April and June featuring a return to in-person presentations in the Masur Auditorium in Building 31 along with simultaneous videocasts. Please monitor the DDM website for location updates for those two particular seminars. Mark your calendar from 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on the dates below!

For more information about upcoming seminars and receiving supervisory refresher training credits and Continuous Learning Points (CLPs), visit the DDM Seminar Series website.

Management Intern Opportunities Ahead

Waitlisted Registration—What Does it Mean? 

I registered for a class and was placed on the waitlist—is the class full?

If you have registered for a class at the NIH Training Center (NIHTC), you may be familiar with the registration process. But we get it…it may not be as clear for first-time students, so here’s a breakdown:
 

All registrations are initially sent to the waitlist

The NIHTC uses a two-level approval process. Until those approvals are complete, your registration will remain on the waitlist.

Registration pending direct supervisor’s approval

Your direct supervisor will receive a notification that your registration is pending their approval. They approve in the LMS.

Registration pending final approver’s CAN entry and approval

Your final approver will receive a notification that your registration is pending their approval. They should approve and enter the CAN for billing in the LMS.

Registration confirmed if there is space in the class

If there is space in the class, your registration will move to a confirmed status on the class roster. If the class is full, your registration will remain on the waitlist. Your waitlisted registration may be moved to the roster if someone drops the class.

So how do I know if a class is actually full?

You can always reach out to NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov with questions about NIHTC classes. You will be directed to the program manager or training coordinator who manages the class logistics and can provide more information about the number of available seats. You can also follow these tips when registering for classes:

1. Register at least four weeks prior to the class—some of our classes fill quickly!
2. Ensure your request for registration receives prompt approvals.

Visit our Course Registration website for more information about the registration process and what to expect. Browse the course calendar or course catalog for upcoming classes.

Our Doors are Open! Attend Training Onsite in 2023

For almost three years, the NIH Training Center (NIHTC) has delivered all classes and most programs virtually. It’s time to head back to the Training Center for more in-person learning. Using FY22 class evaluations, the NIHTC identified classes that students indicated they would like to attend in person. While the NIHTC will continue to provide the majority of classes and programs virtually in FY23, a select few will be onsite. Any class or program scheduled to occur in person will have clear instructions regarding the location on the course calendar. The NIHTC will monitor in person enrollment and, if necessary, the class or program may convert to a virtual session. Students will be notified well in advance.  

If you have questions about a particular class, program, or service, please contact us:  NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov. We thank you for your commitment to learning and we look forward to seeing you in person in an NIHTC classroom.
