Join Us for the 2021 NIH Virtual Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration

The NIH Regional Seminars, which NIH has held once or twice a year for decades, have been great opportunities to help researchers, research administrators, trainees and others to better understand the NIH grants process. I have always enjoyed attending and being a part of the entire experience. We in the Office of Extramural Research (OER) value the mutual learning, the questions asked, the energy and ideas, and all that can be learned interacting with attendees. Last year, like so many other conference hosts around the world, NIH shifted to a virtual seminar platform. I confess, we were not sure exactly what would happen; for example, how many people would register and then participate? Well, instead of reaching a thousand people, which is the capacity of our traditional in-person events, we had more than 13,000 people participate!

This free, four-day virtual event covers a broad range of grant policy, program, and process topics from application through award closeout. Although we can’t meet face-to-face, we’ve made some changes we hope will help the seminar feel more like a conversation, including: Shortening presentations, leaving more time for live Q&A Focusing on case studies Providing appointment opportunities to meet with experts in 20-minute personal video, audio, or text chats Connecting with others via a matchmaking feature...
