III.
In Your First Week:
Insurance and Getting Around Campus
Early
on, you will need to take care of health insurance.
This page also contains information to help you
learn your way around.
1.
Insurance
You must
have health insurance in order to work
at NIH, and it must be in place before the first
month of your appointment is over. Start the process
early. Insurance is offered by the Foundation
for Advanced Education in the Sciences . You
will need to turn in your forms in person at the
FAES Business Office:
FAES
Business Office
Building 10, Room B1C18
(301)496-8063
Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
Be sure
to complete your enrollment before
canceling any other insurance you may have. You
must be enrolled during the
first 30 days of your appointment. You should
receive your insurance card within 21 days of
enrollment; if not, contact the FAES office.
2.
Getting Around Campus
The main
campus is large and often confusing to newcomers.
At first, just figure out how to get to your parking
lot or the Metro stop, your office, and someplace
to eat.

that you print out the PDF
version and carry a copy with you until you
become comfortable navigating
Where
to Eat : Campus offers several cafeterias,
lunch stands, and snack bars.
 Fellow
Tip : "Fellows often lunch with the Office
of History, to get a chance to relax and catch
up on business."
Shuttle
Buses : Free shuttles run on eight separate
routes through campus. There are also shuttles
to the Parklawn building (FDA
headquarters) and the Frederick Campus
of NIH . Details on the Shuttle
Bus Page .
 Fellow
Tip : "The shuttle buses are time-consuming,
but nice if your feet hurt or if it's raining."
