Everything you need to know about the NIH
Are you considering taking a job at the NIH? Receiving medical care there or entering a clincal trial?
The NIH website is huge and daunting. I hope that I can distill down the most important information you'll need here--in a format that is much easier to use.
If you need help, please drop me a note. The NIH website is insane, believe me. I was on your end of the stressful job hunt and I have helped a relative find their way into a clincal trial (plus been in a few myself). I've been a summer-time employee while a student and now work there as a fellow. So, I'd love to help if I can.
