Purpose
The NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education
Steering Committee is advisory to the Director, Office of Intramural
Training and Education (OITE), who reports to the Deputy Director for
Intramural Research. It provides advice on policy matters regarding
intramural research training programs at the high school, college,
postbaccalaureate, predoctoral, and postdoctoral levels. The
committee also reviews issues regarding the NIH Visiting Program that
relate to balance and equity between foreign and domestic scientists.
Members are appointed by the Deputy Director for Intramural
Research.
In the past the Committee has been involved in a variety of issues
including the recruitment of the OITE Director, the recruitment of
Clinical Fellows, the development of an International Medical
Scholars Program, and the creation of a Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship Opportunities Catalogue.
