GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

HHS/ORI is funding 2 small grants ($25K-$50K each) for conferences or workshops on research integrity. If you want to organize a conference, workshop, or training event focused on preventing scientific misconduct, this pays for it. Topics can include research ethics training, AI's impact on integrity, responsible conduct of research, or institutional compliance with 42 C.F.R. part 93. Virtual, in-person, or hybrid formats all acceptable.

Who Should Apply

Universities, professional societies, nonprofits, or research institutions that want to host a research integrity conference or workshop. Must have convening power in the research ethics community.

Who Should NOT Apply

Organizations wanting to conduct research (use the RRI program instead), individual researchers, for-profit conference organizers without research integrity expertise, or anyone planning an event unrelated to research integrity.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

  • Must plan and implement a conference/workshop on research integrity
  • Must comply with 42 C.F.R. part 93 focus areas
  • Must produce tangible outcomes (proceedings, recommendations, tools)
  • Can be in-person, virtual, or hybrid
  • Must address: thematic conferences, skill-building workshops, or outreach/education
  • No cost-sharing required

💡 GrantQuick Tip

At $25K-$50K, this is essentially covering catering and a venue for a research integrity workshop. The bar is low if you're a university research integrity office wanting to host a regional workshop. Focus on a timely topic (AI and research integrity is the obvious winner right now) and show you'll produce something tangible — a white paper, set of recommendations, or training toolkit — not just a day of presentations with no output.

Competitiveness: Low-moderate — only 2 awards but very small amounts ($50K max). Limited applicant pool since it's a niche topic.

What This Grant Funds

This notice solicits applications for projects to plan and implement conferences on research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. part 93. In-person and virtual conferences, or a combination of both, will be considered for funding. This initiative advances Administration priorities to strengthen scientific integrity and research integrity and promote principles of gold standard science – including transparency, reproducibility, and scientific rigor. Conferences must be designed to provide a forum for discussion and produce tangible outcomes related to at least one of the following focus areas: 1) Organization of thematic conference; 2) Skill Building Workshops; and/or 3) Outreach and Education Events. Through these conferences and workshops, the program aims to support the dissemination of evidence-based practices, tools, and approaches that enhance credibility, transparency, and responsible conduct of research and can be applied across institutions and the broader research community.
