NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings - proposals due annually on three dates: December 12, April 12, August 12 
R13 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 scientific conferences that are relevant to the NIH's mission and to the public health. A conference is defined as a symposium, seminar, workshop, or any other organized and formal meeting, whether conducted face-to-face or via the internet, where individuals assemble (or meet virtually) for the primary purpose to exchange technical information and views or explore or clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of knowledge, whether or not a published report results from such meeting. The NIH recognizes the value to members of the research community and all other interested parties in supporting such forums.

A critical part of the application for NIH conference support is the documentation of appropriate representation of individuals from nationally underrepresented groups in the planning and implementation of, and participation in, the proposed conference. This includes selection of organizing committee members, speakers, and other invited participants, such as session chairs and panel discussants as well as general attendance. Underrepresented groups include individuals from nationally underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and women. See NIH Notice of Interest in Diversity, NOT-OD-20-031. "Appropriate representation" can be determined by reviewing the availability of scientists from nationally underrepresented groups known to be working in a particular field of biomedical or behavioral research to the anticipated geographic conference area. If the application does not reflect appropriate representation, no award will be issued until program staff members are assured of concerted, effective recruitment and outreach efforts.

Consistent with Federal civil rights laws, NOT-OD-15-152, Civil Rights Protections in NIH-Supported Research, Programs, Conferences and Other Activities, and the Guidelines for Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in NIH-Supported Conference Grants policy, it is expected that organizers of NIH-supported conferences and scientific meetings take steps to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all attendees by providing an environment free from discrimination and harassment, sexual or otherwise.

Support of conferences is contingent on the fiscal and programmatic interests and priorities of the individual NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs). Therefore, a conference grant application is required to contain a permission-to-submit letter from any one of the participating ICs' conference grant contact person (see Contacts List). Applicants are urged to initiate contact well in advance of the chosen application due date and no later than 6 weeks before that date. Please note that agreement to accept an application does not guarantee funding. In general, NIH will not issue a conference grant award unless the Federal award date can precede the conference start date.

The NIH website on NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings centralizes information regarding grants for scientific conferences. The Contacts and Special Interests website includes contact information for the participating ICs as well as information about each IC's specific interests and funding parameters.

Note: Applicants are encouraged to look at the R13 Frequently Asked Questions for a listing of common questions regarding the preparation and submission of conference grant applications.

Arts and Humanities Fellowships in Expanded STS "Cultures of Research" (Käte Hamburger Kolleg) - December 31, 2023
HealthHum relevance: Medical illustration, Lifelikeness, Transformations in medical technology
 
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) is offering ten research fellowships for international scholars from the humanities, social sciences or STS as well as from natural, life and technical sciences for the academic year 2024/2025. The fellowships can start between June and October 2024.             The topic Cultures of Research is positioned where the fields of philosophy, sociology and history interface with natural sciences and engineering. The overall interest of the Center’s work falls on transformations of science and technology as addressed by notions of complexity, lifelikeness and emergence. We are particularly interested in the digitalization of research (simulation, artificial intelligence, machine learning) for the study of epistemic complex systems (e.g., climate change, energy revolution, biologization, sustainability), in participatory arrangements between science and society and in investigating histories and varieties of cultures of research. Our aim is to explore new cultures of (transdisciplinary) research, and, as such, to develop new theories and methodologies for investigating scientific transformations. For the year 2024/2025 call we are particularly, but not exclusively interested in the topic of Expanded STS. By this topic we mean reflecting on the specific challenges that STS is facing to explore and analyze scientific transformations, and providing this field with specific methods. Further, we are interested in the topic of lifelikeness, a research object emerging at the interface of engineering, AI, life sciences and material sciences. With this in mind, we encourage applications with research proposals from: 

* the humanities, social sciences, and STS that explore methods for addressing the diversity of scientific and technological transformations;

* natural, life and technical sciences which scrutinize complex lifelike systems; and

* arts, art history, science journalism and scientific illustration to explore the mediation and representation of lifelikeness in science and technology.
