NIH Employees Describe Culture of Fear, Keep 'Receipts'

Original: "NIH Employees Lived in A Culture of Fear, So They Started Keeping Receipts." https://www. psychologicalscience.org/publ

An interview with Sylvia Chou, an 18-year NIH veteran and former program director at the National Cancer Institute, describes a workplace culture of fear at the National Institutes of Health, prompting staff to start documenting internal events — 'keeping receipts' — to protect themselves and preserve a record. The account is drawing attention as federal health agencies face scrutiny over leadership, morale and scientific independence.

Why now: Renewed concern over political pressure and instability at US federal health agencies is putting NIH workplace conditions in the spotlight.
