Just at nih or is this an hhs-wide thing? Fellow opdiv here and things things feel very uncertain at the moment as we wait this out.

There was a Reddit post the other day saying they plan to consolidate IT, HR, admin, etc. across the board of all HHS OpDivs. Who knows though.

Initially I thought it was consolidating into one office at NIH (which HR already is), but is the thought to consolidate into one *HHS* service center to support all op/divs in HR, IT, Comms, etc.?

why not one for whole govt

That was what the post said, so all agencies under HHS would consolidate these functions.

HR isn't fully centralized at NIH. For instance some areas have HR type liaisons who work directly with the main HR office.

What of NLM/NCBI?

Anyone hear anything from yesterday’s EO meeting?

Forgot to mention, the cuts proposed are mostly for administrative staff.

Over on Reditt someone mentioned the following:

Confirmation from colleagues at NEI, NHLBI, NIAID, NIDA, NIAMS, and NCATS . Shared at various Branch, Staff, and senior leadersship meeting on Thursday and Friday.

Wonder what cuts will be taken in the OD? Or will it be limited if they become the “service center” hub?

France is recruiting USA scientists, in Marseilles.

Bienvenue smart people!
