What is the NIH Management Cadre Program (MCP)?
The NIH Management Cadre Program (MCP) was established in 1994 to train and qualify successful and highly motivated NIH employees currently at the GS/GM grades 12, 13, or 14 levels to help meet the future leadership staffing needs of the NIH. The MCP is designed to enhance the career growth and potential of all employees who participate and represents an important component of NIH’s efforts to develop highly trained, experienced, and well-qualified candidates for management positions. NIH is committed to ensuring that access to this program is inclusive of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities.
