A regional seminar covering topics related to National Institutes of Health
extramural program funding and grants administration has been scheduled for
Thursday and Friday, July 9-10, 1998, in Salt Lake City, Utah.  This seminar,
hosted by the University of Utah, is designed to attract participants from the
inter-mountain/western region, although interested individuals from other regions
are welcome to attend.  Individuals from small and minority educational
institutions, for-profit research organizations, hospitals, universities and
medical centers are encouraged to attend.  The two-day seminar will feature both
plenary and break-out sessions in order to provide information of interest to
academic researchers, scientists, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers,
and both new and senior research administrators.

Additional program information, including program topics and speakers, will be
published in late April.  In the meantime, those individuals interested in
receiving registration information may submit their names to the host institution

FUTURE SEMINARS
This is the only NIH regional seminar planned for fiscal year 1998.  One or two
seminars will be held in fiscal year 1999.  Although the location of the 1999
seminar(s) has yet to be decided, it is likely that one seminar will be held in
the eastern/mid-atlantic region.  No separate mailing list is maintained for the
regional seminars.  Information on upcoming regional seminars will be published
in the NIH Guide and on the NIH home page (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/policy.htm)
