The Aging and Adult-Dependent Care Committee (AADCC) seeks new members for 2025-2027. The AADCC was first chartered in 2016 in response to the 2012 Life@NIH Survey results that identified a deficit in 1) awareness of existing aging and adult-dependent care resources for employees, and 2) guidance received by supervisors in promoting work-life services to their employees. The mission of the AADCC is to: promote aging and adult-dependent care resources, information and related services to the NIH workforce; research and recommend effective actions that meet the needs of the diverse NIH workforce (federal employees, trainees and contractors); and report to the NIH Deputy Director for Management regarding aging, adult-dependent and elder care programs and policies in support of the NIH Mission. The AADCC comprises three subcommittees: Communications, Webinars, and Resources and Membership. There are 11 voting members with interests and/or diverse experience in dealing with adult-dependent care issues. Members represent various ICOs and employment categories across the NIH workforce. Liaisons and Stakeholder Groups include the NIH Child Care Board, Health and Wellness Council, Employee Assistance Program, Office of Human Resources, Office of Research Services and Well-Being Ambassadors.
Since 2017, this committee has: analyzed numerous surveys to determine employees' needs and interest in AADCC services; collaborated with multiple stakeholder communities to cross-promote services; initiated an aging and adult dependent care listserv ; provided information on local and nationwide services for adult dependents and elders; sponsored webinars on caregiving and aging; promoted services at campus-wide events; certified as a NIH Employee Resource Group; and continues to advocate for aging and adult dependent care services that support the workforce. If you are among the many employees with adult dependent care responsibilities, please go to NIH Aging and Adult Dependent Care Committee for additional information on available
resources. Applications for the 3-year term are due by Friday, November 22.
