NIH Staff Say Culture of Fear Led Them to Document Everything

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

National Institutes of Health employees describe working in a culture of fear, prompting some to quietly keep records of decisions and directives. The account comes from an interview with Sylvia Chou, an 18-year NIH veteran and former program director at the National Cancer Institute, who details how staff began documenting interactions as protection amid mounting pressure on the agency's workforce.

Why now: Concerns about political pressure and job insecurity at US health agencies are drawing fresh attention to conditions inside the NIH.
