Opportunity Summary:
The Academic Community Partnership Conference Series (R13) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to support health disparities focused convenings such as meetings, workshops, and symposia. The central idea is to fund conference-style activities that intentionally bring academic partners and community organizations into the same space to build or strengthen relationships and to plan Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) efforts that are driven by community priorities. Rather than funding a full research project directly, this program is designed to create the partnerships, shared agendas, and concrete next steps that make strong CBPR project applications possible later on.
The purpose of the conference series is tightly tied to CBPR, meaning the community is not treated as a subject or audience but as a co-leader in identifying problems, shaping questions, and guiding solutions. NICHD expects that events supported by this R13 will do three main things: first, establish new academic-community partnerships or deepen existing ones; second, identify research priorities that come from the community itself (not only from academic or institutional interests); and third, develop longer-term, collaborative CBPR research agendas that can continue beyond the conference. A key expected outcome is that these partnerships will be positioned to submit future grant applications proposing CBPR projects that directly respond to the needs identified by the community.
The health issues that may be addressed through these partnerships are those connected to child health, maternal health, and disparities more broadly. Example topic areas listed in the announcement include infant mortality, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), fibroid tumors, obesity across the lifespan (childhood, adolescence, and adulthood), health literacy approaches (including outreach techniques and information dissemination), pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS prevention, and violence prevention. Applicants can focus on one or more of these areas, with the underlying expectation that the conference content and structure will be designed to reduce disparities by aligning research planning with lived community needs and practical community context.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary grant using the NIH Research Conference Grant mechanism (R13) and is categorized under Health, Income Security, and Social Services. The CFDA number associated with it is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have flexible funds available to meet a match requirement. The listed award ceiling is $30,000, indicating the budget is meant to support the convening itself (planning, logistics, materials, participant engagement activities, and other allowable conference costs) rather than large-scale research operations.
Eligibility is broad, reflecting the goal of encouraging real academic-community collaboration across many types of institutions. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district). Tribal governments and tribal organizations are eligible, including federally recognized tribal governments as well as other tribal entities. The announcement also explicitly highlights eligibility for organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Importantly, the applicant must be an organization; an individual person cannot receive an R13 conference grant as the direct recipient.
The program also clarifies what it means by a "community organization" for the purposes of these partnerships. A qualifying community organization should have a documented interest in improving the health of the relevant community (for example, reflected in a mission statement) and a demonstrated history of serving that community's health needs and interests for at least three years. This definition signals that NICHD is looking for genuine, established community partners with credibility and continuity, not ad hoc groups formed solely to meet an application requirement.

What kinds of events can be supported?
The announcement describes convenings such as meetings, workshops, and symposia, as long as the event is structured to intentionally bring academic and community partners together for CBPR-focused relationship building and research agenda development.
What does NICHD expect the supported events to accomplish?

Does this R13 program fund a research study directly?
No. The program is described as supporting conference activities that position partnerships to submit future grant applications for CBPR projects that respond to community-identified needs.
What is a key longer-term outcome NICHD is looking for?

What health topics can a conference focus on?
The opportunity focuses on child health, maternal health, and health disparities more broadly. Example topic areas listed include infant mortality, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), fibroid tumors, obesity across the lifespan, health literacy approaches (including outreach and information dissemination), pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS prevention, and violence prevention.
