Reasonable Accommodations

NIH's Office of Research Services provides centrally funded sign language interpreting and CART (real-time transcription) services to the NIH Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. As one of the 27 ICs at NIH, NINR can request these services as a reasonable accommodation to D/HH individuals, including employees, contractors, patients, and visitors, to participate in NINR-related events and activities, per section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

NIH Language Access Services

If you require language access assistance to participate in an NINR event, please contact Dr. Edmond Byrnes ([email protected], 301-496-0235).

Federal agencies must take reasonable steps to ensure that Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals have meaningful access to Federal programs and activities, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, and Executive Order 13166.

NIH uses the NIH Language Access Services: Translation and Interpretation (LASTI) Portal to secure interpretation and translation services.
