The Division of International Services (DIS) will host its 14th Annual Immigration Conference at the Natcher Conference Center (Building 45) on May 4-5, 2016. All NIH Institute/Center (IC) administrative staff involved in the NIH Visiting Program (VP) are encouraged to attend! For two days each spring, over 200 people come together for a fantastic opportunity to interact and network with DIS Immigration Specialists and other colleagues. The conference offers both basic and more advanced training sessions to equip attendees with the skills and knowledge they need to recruit and retain visiting foreign national scientists in the NIH VP.

Registration will open in early April. More details about the conference, including the list of sessions, are soon to be announced on the conference page of the DIS website.
