Focus

Org capacity

Cash support for scientific conferences and workshops. A recurring series run by a permanent sponsoring organization can receive up to 5 years of support. Effective Feb 10, 2026, NIH no longer requires advance institute permission for conference grant applications (NOT-OD-26-040).

Why it's in this index

Covers the scientific sessions of BSF's biannual conference, and the multi-year option suits a recurring meeting.

Who can apply

Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status are explicitly eligible, alongside universities and governments. Requires eRA Commons/SAM.gov registration; patient organizations can apply directly or co-sponsor with an academic partner.

How to apply

Via Grants.gov/ASSIST under PA-25-080 (or its successor) at standard NIH due dates.
