Disability Health Scientific Interest Group
The Disability Health Scientific Interest Group (DHSIG) is an NIH-wide, multidisciplinary scientific discussion group that brings together NIH intramural and extramural staff and trainees with a shared interest in disability health research. Membership is also open to interested scientists outside NIH by request, referral, or invitation.
The DHSIG aims to advance innovative, rigorous, and person-centered research that promotes the health and well-being of people with disabilities. It pursues this goal by stimulating scientific exchange, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, mentoring the next generation of researchers, and informing NIH research priorities and the broader scientific community.
The DHSIG holds hybrid meetings quarterly to discuss advances and opportunities in disability health research.
