Happy Pride Month! Raising the Pride flag signifies that LGBTQIA+ people are welcomed and celebrated at NIH, while also demonstrating our agency’s dedication to elevating these communities’ voices and perspectives in the work we do. NIH is committed to building belonging for LGBTQIA+ communities not only this month but throughout the year. We are proud of the work that is being done across the agency toward cultivating diversity in clinical trials and broader health research representative of sexual and gender diverse communities. We have also taken steps toward fostering a more supportive, respectful, and inclusive workplace for LGBTQIA+ people within the biomedical and health science research enterprise. #PrideMonth #NIH

Most of us may be exposed to polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals,” and other endocrine disruptors through everyday consumer products. In a recent director’s message, Helene M. Langevin talks about convening a research discussion on complementary and integrative health interventions to counteract the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
