CONFERENCE GRANTS |
Notice to Applicants
for Support of Scientific Meetings. The Division of Cancer Biology
provides modest support for scientific meetings in broad areas related
to cancer biology, immunology and etiology. Prospective
applicants are encouraged to submit applications at least six months
prior to the proposed meeting. Application receipt deadlines are February
1, June 1 and October 1. Applications that
are not received within this time frame must be accompanied by a request
for expedited review. In addition, applicants are strongly advised to contact
Program Staff in these cases. We will make an effort to honor such requests
if there are extenuating circumstances, program staff support, and available
resources to conduct the review. Please note, however, that acceptance
of a late application is not assured.
The following information may be helpful in the preparation of a conference grant application: Guidelines for Support of Scientific Meetings at NIH In contrast to the statement regarding NCI's requirement of a Letter of Intent per the recently revised Guidelines for Support of Scientific Meetings (see link above), applicants are strongly urged, but not required, to submit a letter of intent prior to submission of conference grant applications. |
