How likely will old criminal record interfere with obtaining FTE fed job?

I was given a verbal offer for a research scientist job at NIH. Designation is non-sensitive.

I have a misdemeanor from 2013 that has since been sealed. Is this likely to come up on the background check, and if so, how much of a problem would it cause?
