Overview
Whether you are working in an alternate work location or teleworking, there are a variety of enterprise supported collaboration tools and resources available to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff.
Remote access through the virtual private network
NIH's virtual private network (VPN) offers a remote connection to the NIH network that ensures staff can securely access NIH tools, resources, and files from anywhere that allows internet access. Where possible, you are encouraged to use mobile devices and cloud-based services without connecting to the NIH network.
Web conferencing tools
NIH offers web conferencing tools that allow you to communicate with internal and external collaborators around the globe. View the Virtual Meeting Options Matrix for more information.
File storage and collaboration tools
You can easily and securely work on, store, and share documents using a range of file storage tools even when you're teleworking. Learn more about each at the NIH File Storage and Collaboration Tools Portal.
Mobile devices
NIH also provides the means to work remotely using mobile devices. Check NIH email, work and collaborate on documents with your colleagues, and host or attend meetings—all from your MobileIronenrolled smartphone or tablet.
