NIH Efforts To Address Sexual Harassment in Science
The National Institutes of Health’s senior leadership is strengthening the effort to tackle a crucial problem facing the research community: sexual harassment in science. A recent updateexplained the steps that are being taken to address sexual harassment both within NIH itself and at institutions that receive NIH funding.
NIH does not tolerate pervasive or severe harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment, anywhere that NIH-funded activities are conducted. To foster a work environment free from sexual harassment, NIH is bolstering policies, guidelines, requirements, and communications to make expectations clear to the NIH workforce and NIH-funded organizations. NIH is also working to ensure that individuals know their rights, where to report incidents of sexual harassment, and the resources available to them.
To follow new developments on this important issue and get details on policies that affect NIH awardee organizations and those who work there, visit the NIH Office of Extramural Research Anti-Sexual Harassment webpage.
