GUIDELINES ON INCLUSION OF WOMEN, MINORITIES, AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN NIH SPONSORED
AND/OR SUPPORTED INTRAMURAL AND EXTRAMURAL SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES
NIH GUIDE, Volume 24, Number 15, April 28, 1995 (see Update <a href="/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-066.html">NOT-OD-03-066</a>)

INTRODUCTION
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognizes the value of
supporting scientific meetings relevant to its health and scientific
mission. In addition, NIH affirms that the value of scientific
meetings is enhanced by including participants from all segments of
the scientific population and, when appropriate, members of the lay
community, in both the planning and conduct of such meetings.
Further, the NIH Revitalization Act (P.L. 103-43, Section 206), which
adds section 402(b) to the Public Health Service Act, requires NIH to
"in conducting and supporting programs for research, research
training, recruitment, and other activities, provide for an increase
in the number of women and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds
(including racial and ethnic minorities) in the fields of biomedical
and behavioral research." In addition, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act require
reasonable accommodations to be provided to individuals with
disabilities.
POLICY
It is the NIH policy that organizers of scientific meetings should
make a concerted effort to achieve appropriate representation of
women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities, and
other individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in
science, in all NIH sponsored and/or supported scientific meetings.
In addition, organizers who name NIH as a sponsor or use NIH
facilities must make a concerted effort to achieve appropriate
representation in compliance with this policy. "Appropriate" means
representation based on the availability of scientists from these
groups known to be working in a particular field of biomedical or
behavioral research. The plans to seek appropriate representation
should be specified during selection of organizing committees,
speakers, and other invited participants, such as session chairs and
panel discussants. In addition, efforts should be made to encourage
attendance by women, minorities and persons with disabilities at all
NIH sponsored and/or supported scientific meetings as a means of
increasing their participation in the particular scientific field.
The plans to seek appropriate representation will be included as an
evaluation criterion during review of the requests for funding for
these meetings.
This policy shall apply to all domestic or international scientific
meetings sponsored by and/or receiving support from the NIH.
"Scientific meetings" include all meetings, conferences, workshops,
symposia, seminar series, and lectures that involve
organizing/planning committees, expenditure of funds, invited
participants, or are nationally or internationally advertised. Such
meetings may be initiated by the NIH's institute, center or division
(ICD) extramural and intramural programs or by contracts, or may be
investigator-initiated requests for grants or cooperative agreements.
Reasonable efforts should be made, as well, to fulfill the goal of
this policy for single seminars sponsored by NIH laboratories or
extramural programs.
All NIH sponsored and/or supported conferences must be held at
accessible sites, as outlined by section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 and, as applicable, the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990. Conference registration materials should provide a question
that will allow participants with disabilities to voluntarily
identify any special needs, so that conference organizers can make
plans to accommodate these needs.
When making awards for grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts
for scientific meetings, NIH will work with applicants as necessary
to assist them to comply with this policy. NIH's extramural and
intramural staff who initiate scientific meetings must comply with
this policy. It is the responsibility of the ICD Directors to
implement this policy. The NIH Director will assure that all
extramural and intramural programs comply with this policy.
NOTE: NIH adopts the Office of Management and Budget definitions
provided in Directive Number 15 for racial and ethnic categories for
the purposes of this policy: American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian
or Pacific Islander; Black (not of Hispanic origin); Hispanic; and
White(not of Hispanic origin). Whites are defined as the majority
group; the remaining categories comprise the racial/ethnic
minorities. The classification of an individual is by self-
identification. A person with a disability means any person who (a)
has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or
more of such person's major life activities; (b) has a record of such
an impairment; or (c) is regarded as having such an impairment, as
described under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Scientific societies and
organizations may facilitate this process by making relevant
information voluntarily provided by their membership available to
members planning such scientific meetings.
