The NIH is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is the nation’s largest medical research agency. NIH is the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world. Our research has had a major positive impact on nearly all aspects of our lives by improving human health, fueling the U.S. economy, and creating jobs in our communities.

Jobs at NIH NIH Work/Life

From Science Lab to Administrative Office

You may think that you must have a Ph.D., M.D., or another advanced degree in a scientific discipline to have a leadership career at the NIH. Certainly those disciplines are critical to the NIH mission, but you should know that a large proportion of the approximately 16,000 positions at the NIH are held by individuals who administer and manage the programs of the agency, and who are not scientists.
