Can the individuals listed under Intramural Programs or NIH Offices provide an advance permission letter for a conference grant submission?
Only those listed as designated IC contacts can provide the acceptance permission letter. OD offices will not be permitted to approve receipt of conference grant applications. If an OD office wants to sponsor a particular conference, the OD office will need to identify an IC to review/administer the application/grant. The approval to receive the conference grant application will come from the reviewing/administering IC.
