  • "Keep the Thread" program:  The Committee on the NIH Intramural Research Program of the NIH Working Group on Women in Biomedical Careers has launched a new, three-year pilot program to increase flexibility for NIH intramural fellows who need alternative career development schedules.  This "Keep the Thread" program is an accommodation and reentry program open to all IRTA postdoctoral fellows, with the approval of their principal investigator and Scientific Director.  Emphasizing flexibility, the program offers an array of options ranging from alternative work schedules to temporary part-time work options.  The goal of the Keep the Thread program is to encourage trainees to stay connected to the NIH community during times of intense personal or caregiving needs in order to facilitate eventual reentry into full-time research.  The program encourages fellows and their PIs to work together to design an accommodation and reentry plan that meets the needs of both the fellow and the laboratory.
