21st Annual DIS Immigration Conference for Administrative Staff

21st Annual Immigration Conference for Administrative Staff

The Division of International Services (DIS) hosted the 21st Annual Immigration Conference for Administrative Staff on May 2 and 3, 2023. The conference featured sessions covering topics such as NIH Policy, the DIS Customer Portal, the G-7 Program, Non-FTE to FTE Conversions and more. We were also excited to welcome our guest presenter, Dr. Sharon Milgram, Director of the Office of Intramural Training & Education, to discuss the importance of the mental health and well-being of the NIH Visiting Program participants. DIS welcomed attendees from the NIH, FDA and CDC to discuss immigration-related topics integral to the recruitment and retention of foreign national scientists. Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to hosting you all again next year.

If you were unable to attend, we have made the presentation slides available to NIH users on the DIS website until May 31. We recommend you download the slides for future reference. Beyond our conference, DIS shares important immigration updates, procedural changes and event invitations throughout the year via our Administrative Staff listserv.
