Internal Civil Rights Program

The Internal Civil Rights Program administers and ensures the Agency’s compliance and enforcement of Federal nondiscrimination laws and regulations to include: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; Equal Pay Act of 1963; and the Genetic Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. The NRC is committed to the principles of equal employment opportunity (EEO) and prohibits unlawful discrimination in the workplace for all employees, former employees, and job applicants seeking employment, on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, or reprisal for prior EEO activity or opposition to a discriminatory practice. The nondiscrimination laws pertain to all employment terms and conditions, management practices, and decisions including, but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, merit promotions, transfers, reassignments, job duties, training and career development, benefits, and separations. 

The NRC also prevents employees (current and former), as well as job applicants, from being subjected to reprisal for either participating in a protected activity or opposing practices made unlawful by the relevant civil rights statutes and regulations.
