<p>I was an research intern for NIH but stupid me wrote research intern and the university that I was working at as the employer on my app and in my essays/awards I wrote NIH instead of National Institute of health, so no where in my app does National Institute of Health occur. do colleges know what NIH is?</p>
<p>Yes, they do. It’s a very common abbreviation.</p>
<p>I guessed it the moment I saw it. I thnk it is not a problem</p>
<p>NIH: commonly known enough. Dont worry</p>
<p>Most three-letter federal agency abbreviations are okay- NIH, NSF, FBI, CIA, IRS, FDA, EPA.</p>
