New Employee Orientation at NIAID

Welcome to NIAID!

On your second day, you will attend the Navigating NIAID Welcome Workshop (NNWW), NIAID’s orientation, provided by the Office of Workforce Effectiveness and Resources (OWER). Please note that, during this time of physical distancing and the gradual return of employees to the workplace, NIAID Orientation will continue to be conducted virtually until further notice.

What is NIAID orientation?

NNWW provides a broad overview of NIAID, its history, its organizational structure, and the global health challenges we face. The workshop also includes an introduction to the information technology (IT) world at NIAID, the new employee onboarding program, and opportunities for professional development within NIAID. Additionally, you will complete mandatory training requirements.

Note: People with disabilities who need reasonable accommodations to participate in this event should contact Dennis Kovanda.

When do I need to attend the orientation?

NNWW occurs every other Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the day following NIH orientation. During this time of physical distancing and the gradual return of employees to the workplace, NIAID orientation will continue to be virtual until further notice. Your supervisor or administrative officer will contact you regarding when you attend orientation.
