Can an R13/U13 grantee conduct their conference on the NIH campus?
No. NIH conference facilities are supported by NIH IC Research Management and Support (RMS) funds and it would not be appropriate for an IC to use these facilities for a R13/U13 conference supported with RPG funding. There is also a fairness issue if one grantee is permitted to hold an R1/U13 supported event on the NIH campus and this option is not available to other grantees. R13/U13 conferences may be held at non-NIH federal facilities, provided that the grantee establishes a consortium agreement with that Agency, and follows the standard NIH rules governing the use of NIH grant funds for payments to Federal institutions and Federal employees.
