Outside Activities
Fellows' Career Development
(Source: NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education)
Under certain circumstances, fellows at NIH are allowed to participate in outside activities in order to supplement their training experience so that they can be best prepared for their chosen career. All Fellows are expected to follow the Office of Intramural Research (OIR) Guidelines for Non-FTEs (Trainees) for NIH-Related Activities, Outside Activities, and Awards.
Are there different rules for Outside Activities for a Visiting Fellow?
Advance approval from the Division of International Services (DIS), the OIR, and other NIH offices is often necessary to engage in an outside activity to ensure that both our Fellows' U.S. immigration status and NIH policies allow the activity.
