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.
