What the grant funds

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Research Integrity announces the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 under the authority of Sec. 301 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 241, as delegated to the Director of ORI. Research institutions receiving funding from any of the Public Health Service agencies are required to “[f]oster a research environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research, research training, and activities related to that research or research training, discourages research misconduct, and deals promptly with allegations or evidence of possible research misconduct.” 42 C.F.R. § 93.300(c). ORI's Research on Research Integrity Conference Grant Program supports conferences and workshops that advance the evolving field of research integrity by providing a forum for discussion of and producing tangible outcomes related to research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93. 1. Scope of Conferences Conferences or workshops must be designed to provide a forum for discussion and produce tangible outcomes related to at least one of the following themes: 1) Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training; 2) fostering an environment that promotes research integrity; 3) prevention of research misconduct; 4) effective handling of research misconduct allegations; 5) whistleblowing and protection of whistleblowers; or, 6) other topics linked to research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93. Virtual conferences and workshops will be eligible for funding. 2. Conference Objectives For the purposes of this announcement, a conference is defined as a meeting, retreat, seminar, symposium, workshop or event whose primary purpose is the dissemination of technical information beyond the awardee. Per 45 C.F.R. § 75.432, “conference hosts/sponsors must exercise discretion and judgment in ensuring that conference costs are appropriate, necessary and managed in a manner that minimizes costs to the Federal award.” Applicants may seek additional sources of funding and institutional support to fund the proposed conference. To ensure optimal utilization of ORI’s support, applicants should articulate a comprehensive evaluation strategy that incorporates validated measures and techniques and encompasses retention and application of knowledge gained through the conference.
