NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (Parent R13 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of the NIH Research Conference Grant (R13) is to support high quality conferences that are relevant to the public health and to the scientific mission of the participating Institutes and Centers. This funding opportunity announcement supports conferences across a wide range of health-related research topics under the NIH mission, including cancer research, mental health, aging, infectious diseases, cardiovascular research, neurosciences, and many other biomedical and behavioral research areas. The R13 grant mechanism is specifically designed to support conference activities rather than individual research projects, and clinical trials are not allowed under this announcement.
