The NIH Office of the Ombudsman, Center for Cooperative Resolution (CCR), provides informal assistance to members of the NIH community in addressing lab and work-related issues. We are a neutral, independent, and confidential resource.

Our ombudsmen will listen to your concerns and help you clarify your issues. We will help you identify your interests and your options. We are also able to help you address interpersonal or organizational challenges and can act as intermediaries to facilitate communication when appropriate, and if requested.
