Opportunity Summary:
The NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (Parent R13/U13) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 13-347) is a National Institutes of Health program designed to fund well-planned scientific conferences and meetings that clearly connect to public health needs and align with the missions of participating NIH Institutes and Centers. Through this mechanism, NIH helps bring together researchers, clinicians, trainees, and other stakeholders to share findings, set research agendas, develop collaborations, and speed progress in areas that matter to human health. In practical terms, the program is meant to underwrite high-quality convenings where the scientific value is clear, the topics are timely, and the meeting outcomes can move a field forward.
This opportunity supports two closely related funding mechanisms. The R13 is the NIH Research Conference Grant, typically used when NIH is providing financial support for a conference but is not expected to have substantial ongoing involvement in the project beyond normal stewardship. The U13 is the NIH Research Conference Cooperative Agreement, used when a closer partnership is anticipated, meaning NIH program staff may have substantial involvement consistent with the cooperative agreement model. While both mechanisms focus on conferences and scientific meetings, the choice between them usually depends on how the event is structured and the level of anticipated NIH engagement.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with a cooperative agreement instrument type in the source data, reflecting that at least some awards under this parent announcement may be made as U13 cooperative agreements. The activity category is listed broadly across areas such as education, environment, food and nutrition, health, income security, and social services, which reflects the wide range of NIH-relevant topics that conferences may cover when they relate to public health and biomedical or behavioral research.
A notable feature of this parent announcement is the breadth of NIH program areas it can touch. The listed CFDA numbers span many NIH domains, including (among others) environmental health, oral health, human genome research, deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep disorders research, alcohol research, drug abuse and addiction, technological innovations for human health, minority health and health disparities, translational sciences, research infrastructure, a wide range of cancer research areas (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control), cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases, arthritis and musculoskeletal/skin diseases, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience and neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, general biomedical research and training, child health and human development, aging, vision research, and medical library assistance. The takeaway is that NIH intended this conference support mechanism to be widely usable across its participating Institutes and Centers, provided the proposed meeting is scientifically strong and relevant to institute priorities.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations across academia, government, nonprofits, and the private sector. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without that IRS status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility language also highlights inclusion of a variety of mission-driven institutions and community-focused 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, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, although foreign components may be permitted as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce barriers for organizations that want to propose a strong meeting but do not have independent funds to match federal support.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on September 11, 2013, with an original closing date of September 7, 2016, and it was archived on October 8, 2016. That means this specific parent announcement is no longer open for new submissions under those dates, but it remains a useful reference for understanding NIH conference support and for locating successor announcements that may continue the R13/U13 conference grant concept under updated funding opportunity numbers.
The official sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide at the link provided in the source data (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-347.html). For access or technical issues, the listed contact is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, which is intended for problems reaching or linking to the announcement rather than for programmatic questions about scientific fit.
