2022-2023 Virtual NIH Grants Conference and PreCon Events: New Name! New Approach! Deeper Dive!
Reimagine:  to reinterpret (an event, work of art, etc.) imaginatively; rethink If you have followed my blogs through the years, you know I am a huge fan of an NIH event focused on bringing the extramural research community together with NIH experts to share knowledge, perspectives, guidance, and resources on the NIH grants process and policies. The event has evolved through the years in format, reach, and trans-NIH involvement. Each year, I thought its success would be hard to top…yet somehow it happened. For decades it was known as the “NIH Regional Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration.” We capped ...

Strengthening Efforts to End Harassment and Discrimination at NIH-Supported Conferences
A year ago, we began requiring plans to enhance and strengthen diversity in applications seeking funding for scientific conferences and meetings. Our guide notice NOT-OD-21-053 reiterated the long-standing expectation that recipients maintain a safe and respectful environment, free from harassment and discrimination. Building on these efforts, we are now asking recipients to proactively show how they will address safety and harassment. Conferences, unfortunately, may present increased risks for harassment compared to campus environments.  Increased harassment risks at off-campus events have been linked to a lack of awaren...
