Note:  This page will be archived following the 2023 NIH Grants Conference, February 1-2, 2023! New website info below.

NEW! For decades, the NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration have been the go-to conference for grants administrators, researchers, and others who were new to working with the NIH grants process. In 2020, these in-person seminars pivoted to virtual, and instead of reaching 1000+ attendees, has now reached tens of thousands from across the globe.

Under a new name and new approach, the NIH Grants Conference & PreCon Events, now extends beyond one event! Each month, preconference events are offered which take attendees on a deeper dive into important NIH topics. In February, the 2-day conference will bring together in one location, hundreds of NIH experts with participants from every state and a multitude of countries for a memorable learning and sharing opportunity within the NIH Grants Conference Center! Overall, these events are designed to help demystify the application and review process, clarify Federal regulations and policies, and highlight current areas of special interest or concern. They serve the NIH mission of providing education and training for the next generation of biomedical and behavioral scientists.
