NIDCD invites applications to organize and execute an annual conference on dissemination and implementation research skills applicable to all NIDCD mission areas, specifically hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language.
A conference or scientific meeting is defined as a gathering,
symposium, seminar, workshop or any other organized and formal meeting where persons assemble in person or meet virtually to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate information or to explore or clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of knowledge.
This is a U13 cooperative agreement conference grant mechanism to support recipient sponsored and directed meetings, conferences, and workshops.
Cooperative agreements are an assistance mechanism used when there will be substantial Federal scientific or programmatic involvement.
Substantial involvement means that, before and after award, scientific or program staff will assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.
