Attention Supervisors: It’s the Final Countdown! 

We are entering the last year of the NIH three-year supervisory refresher training cycle (2022/2023/2024). New supervisors are required to fulfill initial training requirements within 12 months of their new role. In addition, refresher training is required every three years. The NIHTC is here to provide experienced supervisors with options to fulfill their refresher training requirements.

We offer two formats to fulfill your requirements: Supervisory Refresher and SuperShorts. Take our two-day Supervisory Refresher class to cover all the required topics at once. If you only need a few more continuous learning points (CLPs) to meet your supervisory refresher training requirements, take what you need a little at a time with our SuperShorts. SuperShort topics include Effective Feedback, Performance Conduct, and Work-life Balance and are covered in three-hour training sessions to support more challenging work schedules. Both class formats are offered virtually. 

Visit the Mandatory Training website for additional training options and to learn more about supervisory training requirements. 

Hot Off the Press: 2024 DDM Seminar Series Dates

To those who submitted speaker nominations for the 2024 Deputy Director for Management (DDM) Seminar Series, we thank you. The DDM Seminar Series offers the NIH community engaging presentations that provide insights into leadership and management concepts, challenges, and solutions. We look forward to announcing speaker selections later this year. In the meantime, save these DDM Seminar dates to your calendar!

While you wait for seminar speakers and topics, consider watching past seminars. Participants can earn CLPs to apply towards supervisory refresher credits or a Federal Acquisition Certification (FAC-C, FAC-COR, FAC-P/PM). View our CLP website for more information about earning and reporting CLPs.

Explore the DDM Seminar Series website for more information. For questions or comments, contact NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov.

Calling All NIH ExLP Alums – Pack Your Bags and Join Your Peers at NIEHS

The NIHTC invites all NIH Executive Leadership Program (ExLP) alums to join us for a training and networking opportunity onsite at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Durham, North Carolina, on March 6-7, 2024.

Dr. Trevor Archer, NIEHS Deputy Director and 2020 ExLP alum, is graciously hosting this event. In addition to connecting with NIEHS leadership and learning about interesting NIEHS priorities, research, and initiatives, we will explore the NIEHS campus and participate in facilitated sessions led by the Partnership for Public Service on Mentoring, Sponsoring, Employee Advocacy, and Leading in a Hybrid Work Environment. 

It has been quite a few years since we have had an alumni activity, and this will be our first event out-of-state. This is an excellent time to reconnect with members of your own cohort and others at NIH who have a shared ExLP experience. You won’t want to miss this event!

NIHTC Welcomes New Class of Management Interns

After a very competitive process, the NIHTC is happy to introduce the Class of 2025 Management Interns! The NIH Management Intern (MI) Program was established in 1957 and offers a few outstanding NIH employees a two-year opportunity to rotate through different administrative career fields, gain invaluable insight into the NIH, and develop a vital network of administrative professionals across NIH. This year’s MIs came from various offices across NIH, and we are excited to see them begin their MI journey of rotations, networking, and growth. Welcome, interns!

Stay tuned—in our next issue, we’ll introduce the new class of Presidential Management Fellows (PMF). For more information about the MI Program, visit the MI Program website or contact mi_info@od.nih.gov.
