Opportunity Information: Apply for IR ORI 23 002
The Ensuring Research Integrity - Conferences grant (Funding Opportunity Number IR ORI 23 002) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, administered through the Office of Research Integrity (ORI). Using authority under Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241), ORI is seeking applications to plan and run conferences or workshops that strengthen research integrity practices and support compliance with the federal research misconduct regulation at 42 C.F.R. Part 93. The program is aimed at events that do more than raise awareness; the expectation is that conferences will function as a serious forum for discussion and produce concrete, usable outputs that advance integrity in research settings.
Funded events may be held in person, fully virtual, or in a hybrid format. Regardless of format, the content must align with at least one of the core themes ORI lists: fostering environments that promote research integrity and responsible conduct of research; preventing research misconduct; improving how institutions and stakeholders handle allegations of misconduct; training in responsible conduct of research; or other closely related topics that clearly connect back to research integrity and 42 C.F.R. Part 93 compliance. In other words, applicants have room to tailor a conference to their community or field, but they need to keep the focus tied to integrity, oversight, prevention, training, and/or effective response to misconduct concerns.
A central feature of this opportunity is the emphasis on measurable outcomes and dissemination. ORI is looking for conferences designed to demonstrate impact, such as participants retaining key knowledge, sharing what they learned within their organizations or professional networks, and showing evidence of changes in practice after the event. Applicants are also expected to distribute materials and key knowledge products that come out of the conference, which implies creating tangible deliverables such as toolkits, proceedings, training resources, summaries of best practices, policy templates, or other products that can be used beyond the attendees who participated live.
The maximum award amount is $50,000, and ORI anticipates making about two awards under this announcement. The assistance listing is CFDA 93.085, and the funding activity area is categorized under education, science and technology, and other research and development. Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicants: federal recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local governments, public housing authorities, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and even individuals. This wide eligibility suggests ORI is open to proposals from universities, professional societies, research oversight groups, training organizations, and other stakeholders positioned to convene communities around research integrity.
Applications for the FY 2023 cycle were due electronically by May 17, 2023, with a submission deadline of 6:00 pm Eastern Time. Finally, applicants should plan budgets and event logistics with the understanding that awards may be subject to the HHS policy on efficient spending for conferences and meetings, including restrictions and expectations related to costs such as food, promotional items, and printing or publications.Apply for IR ORI 23 002
