27 UNIHTED

We are off-duty and former staff from all twenty-seven institutes and centers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We support the integrity of publicly funded health research by leading science advocacy efforts to activate and inform the public, drive policy and legislative actions, and support the research workforce. Together, these efforts will lead to a better future for health research.

Our Approach

Since 2025 we have supported research by uplifting our community and advocating for change. Our strength comes from recognizing that everyone has a role to play in responding to the powerful forces affecting research as we build a democratic future. We draw from our expertise and our passion when we develop our projects, campaigns, and outreach.

Support Our Work

27 UNIHTED’s work is primarily volunteer-driven. We rely on donations to support a small team of staff members along with operational costs.
