Event Overview:

Description:

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (Public Law 119-75), signed into law on February 3, 2026, included important updates related to handling investigations undertaken due to concerns about harassment, bullying, retaliation, or hostile working conditions involving senior/key personnel on NIH awards. These requirements were incorporated in the FY 2026 NIH GPS, Section 8.1.2.6 and further described in a recent NIH Extramural NEXUS article. Join us as we discuss how these updates will affect institutions as they navigate investigations of harassment, discrimination, and other inappropriate workplace behavior.

Questions may be sent in advance to [email protected] A recording will also be made available after the event.
