Does the regulation apply to conference grants (R13 and U13 award mechanisms) in support of sponsored and directed international, national or regional meetings, conferences and workshops?
Yes. The regulation defines “Research” as “…any such activity for which research funding is available from a PHS Awarding Component through a grant or cooperative agreement…” A conference grant is a research grant mechanism. Therefore, like traditional research grants, conference grants should be routinely subject to review for Investigator financial conflict of interest.
