2. Ensuring Research Integrity - Conferences

ORI's Ensuring Research Integrity Conference Grant Program supports conferences and workshops that provide a mechanism for those concerned with research integrity to meet to discuss topics related to promoting the responsible conduct of research, preventing research misconduct, and/or addressing issues that arise after an allegation of research misconduct is brought forward at an institution. The experts convened for these meetings are frequently from diverse areas of research, education, administration, law, and government.

This funding opportunity announcement solicits applications for projects to plan and implement conferences or workshops on research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93.  In-person and virtual conferences and workshops, or a combination of both, will be eligible for funding.

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) fostering an environment that promotes research integrity and the responsible conduct of research; 2) prevention of research misconduct; 3) effective handling of research misconduct allegations; 4) training in the responsible conduct of research;  or 5) other topics linked to research integrity and compliance with 42 C.F.R. Part 93.

ORI anticipates a total of $50,000 to support this initiative to award up to two one-year grants.
