Current reorganization plans are deeper than previously proposed. NIH wants to cut 7,000 FTE positions through voluntary and involuntary departures.

I haven’t heard anything and someone on Reddit reported the proposal was “turned down”. Whatever that means.


We heard a bit about a plan to centralize some admin functions - so I wonder if the RIF plan was turned down?

Hopefully. Waiting. Worried.

Are you intramural or extramural? I heard they’re leaving the scientists alone for now.

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.?

Who’s telling you this?

Reddit has the most up to date info. People are leaking things. Nothing firm on NIH yet. Some speculation.

HR, IT, Comms, Policy are IC-specific not centralized at NIH.


HR is, under OHR. Yes there are HR “liaisons” in ICs but they aren’t official HR operations. HR was consolidated a number of years ago, prior to that each IC had their own HR operations office.

In case this is a serious question and not a joke, the answer is because consolidation absolutely does not work effectively for the areas listed above—even at the agency—let alone above. Welcome to a world of bottlenecks and never getting anything done again.
