<p><a name="_Toc258873267">The purpose of the NIH Research
|
|
Conference Grant (R13) is to support high quality scientific conferences that
|
|
are relevant to the NIH's mission and to the public health. A conference is
|
|
defined as a symposium, seminar, workshop, or any other organized and formal
|
|
meeting, whether conducted face-to-face or via the internet, where individuals
|
|
assemble (or meet virtually) for the primary purpose to exchange technical information
|
|
and views or explore or clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of
|
|
knowledge, whether or not a published report results from such meeting. The NIH
|
|
recognizes the value to members of the research community and all other
|
|
interested parties in supporting such forums.</a></p>
|
|
<p>A critical part of the application for NIH conference
|
|
support is the documentation of appropriate representation of women,
|
|
racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who
|
|
have been traditionally underrepresented in science in the planning and
|
|
implementation of, and participation in, the proposed conference. Appropriate
|
|
representation means representation based on the availability of these
|
|
scientists from these groups known to be working in a particular field of
|
|
biomedical or behavioral research. If appropriate representation is not
|
|
apparent, no award will be issued until program staff members are assured of
|
|
concerted recruitment efforts. </p>
|
|
<p>Consistent with Federal civil rights laws, and the <a
|
|
href="http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-066.html">Guidelines
|
|
for Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in
|
|
NIH-Supported Conference Grants</a> policy, it is expected that organizers of
|
|
NIH-supported conferences and scientific meetings take steps to maintain a safe
|
|
and respectful environment for all attendees by providing an environment free
|
|
from discrimination and harassment, sexual or otherwise. </p>
|
|
<p>Support of conferences is contingent on the fiscal and
|
|
programmatic interests and priorities of the individual NIH Institutes and
|
|
Centers (ICs). Therefore, a conference grant application is required to contain
|
|
a permission-to-submit letter from any one of the participating ICs conference
|
|
grant contact person (see <a
|
|
href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/contacts/parent_R13_U13.html">Contacts
|
|
List</a>). Applicants are urged to initiate contact well in advance of the
|
|
chosen application due date and no later than 6 weeks before that date. Please
|
|
note that agreement to accept an application does not guarantee funding. In
|
|
general, NIH will not issue a conference grant award unless the Federal award
|
|
date can precede the conference start date. </p>
|
|
<p>The NIH website on <a
|
|
href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/r13/">NIH Support for Conferences
|
|
and Scientific Meetings</a> centralizes information regarding grants for
|
|

<div class="heading3">1. Criteria</div>
|
|
<p>Only the review criteria described below will be considered
|
|
in the review process. As part of the <a
|
|
href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.htm?id=11149">NIH mission</a>,
|
|
all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral
|
|
research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer
|
|
review system.</p>
|
|
<p>For this particular announcement, note the following:</p>
|
|
<div class="heading4">Overall Impact </div>
|
|
<p>After considering all of the review criteria, briefly summarize
|
|
the significant strengths and weaknesses of the application and judge the
|
|
likelihood that the proposed conference will have a substantial impact on the
|
|
pursuit of the goals of NIH supported research, which is to advance our
|
|
understanding of biological systems, to improve the control of disease, and to
|
|
enhance health.</p>
|
|
<div class="heading4">Scored Review Criteria</div>
|
|
<p>Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in
|
|
the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An
|
|
application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to
|
|
have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not
|
|
innovative may be essential to advance a field.</p>
|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Significance</p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>Does this conference address an important problem? If
|
|
the aims of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge or
|
|
clinical practice be advanced? What will be the effect of these endeavors on
|
|
the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative
|
|
interventions that drive this field? </p>
|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Investigator(s) </p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>Is(are) the PD(s)/PI(s) well suited for organizing
|
|
and fulfilling the goals of this conference? Are the qualifications and past
|
|
performance of the PD(s)/PI(s) appropriate, and are they well suited for their
|
|
described roles in the conference? Are the key personnel and selected speakers
|
|
appropriate and well suited for their described roles in the conference? </p>
|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Innovation</p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>Does the conference employ novel approaches or
|
|
methods to fulfill its purpose? Does the conference draw together appropriate
|
|
experts who may otherwise not have an opportunity to meet? </p>
|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Approach</p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>Are the format and agenda for the conference
|
|
appropriate for achieving the specified goals? Is the conference timely for the
|
|
subject matter? For applications designating multiple PDs/PIs, is the
|
|
Leadership Plan approach, including the designated roles and responsibilities,
|
|
governance and organizational structure consistent with and justified by the
|
|
topics of the conference and the expertise of each of the PDs/PIs? </p>
|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Environment</p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>Is the conference site appropriate? Does the
|
|
applicant organization have the ability to contribute to the probability of
|
|
success? Do the proposed meetings, exhibits, interactions, etc., take advantage
|
|
of unique features of the environment or employ useful collaborative
|
|
arrangements? Is institutional support evident? </p>
|
|
<div class="heading4">Additional Review Criteria</div>
|
|
<p>As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will
|
|
evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and
|
|
technical merit, and in providing an overall impact score, but will not give
|
|

|
|
<p class=heading4Indent>Appropriate Representation</p>
|
|
<p class=P_SingleIndent>How well do the plans for inclusion of women,
|
|
racial/ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and other individuals who
|
|
traditionally have been underrepresented in science provide for their
|
|
appropriate representation in the planning, organization, and execution of the
|
|
proposed conference? For more information, visit <a

|
<p>Recipients of federal financial
|
|
assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with
|
|
federal civil rights law. This means that recipients of HHS funds must ensure
|
|
equal access to their programs without regard to a person’s race, color,
|
|
national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, sex and religion.
|
|
This includes ensuring your programs are accessible to persons with limited
|
|
English proficiency. HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited
|
|
in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal
|
|
investigator’s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment
|
|
requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols
|
|
that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where
|
|
nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate
|
|
with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study
|
|
design, or the purpose of the research.</p>

Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), NIH awards
|
|
will be subject to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information
|
|
System (FAPIIS) requirements. FAPIIS requires Federal award making officials
|
|
to review and consider information about an applicant in the designated
|
|
integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS) prior to making an award.
|
|
An applicant, at its option, may review information in the designated integrity
|
|
and performance systems accessible through FAPIIS and comment on any
|
|
information about itself that a Federal agency previously entered and is
|
|
currently in FAPIIS. The Federal awarding agency will consider any comments by

the applicant, in addition to other information in FAPIIS, in making a
|
|
judgement about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of
|
|
performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by
|
|
applicants as described in 45 CFR Part 75.205 Federal awarding agency review
