National Institutes of Health (NIH, USA, Maryland): Guidance on Travel and Meetings
NIH hosts a large number of scientific meetings and symposia and has been receiving many questions from the NIH community about whether to travel to meetings at NIH facilities or organized by NIH during the coronavirus outbreak. In support of the Office of Personnel Management guidance to strengthen our efforts to protect the federal workforce to ensure continuity of operations, NIH is urging staff to limit work-related attendance at large meetings to those that are mission critical.
NIH also is urging that all large meetings and symposia that are not mission critical and are scheduled to be held at NIH facilities or organized by NIH over the next 45 days* either be held virtually using tele/videoconferencing services, postponed, or cancelled.
You will hear directly from organizers of NIH meetings about these changes. In the coming weeks, NIH will evaluate this guidance for work-related travel and meetings that take place beyond the 45-day period and will provide updated guidance.
*This guidance was updated on March 12, 2020, from 30 days to 45 days.
