The Division of International Services 20th Annual NIH Immigration Conference will be held from June 6-9, 2022. The conference’s primary goal is to equip NIH administrative staff with the skills and knowledge they need to successfully navigate the recruitment and retention of visiting foreign national scientists in the NIH Visiting Program.

This year’s Immigration Conference will be offered through a virtual format. Each session will be offered twice throughout the week to allow for maximum attendance.
