NIH LISTSERV

e-mail announcementshttp://list.nih.gov/
NOTE: NIH LISTSERV lists are for official U.S. Government business only. Creation and ownership of lists on the NIH LISTSERV Facility are restricted to HHS employees and others with a CIT account.

The NIH LISTSERV facility is an e-mail-based server that allows users to create, manage, and control electronic "mailing lists" on a network. There are 3,000+ lists available on the NIH Listserv. Some are owned by other HHS OpDivs and some lists have members who are not HHS employees or contractors.

You may wish to browse the "list of lists" https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?INDEX; to determine a group you'd like to contact. Some lists allow only a list owner to send messages to the list. For instance, to send announcements to the NIH-wide employee's list, you must submit a request to the list owner at https://list.nih.gov/LISTSERV_WEB/NIH-STAFF/.

Other lists are discussion lists to which anyone can send and receive messages, but generally are special-purpose lists for the discussion of a specific topic.
