About the Experts
The NIH Regional Seminars involve over 30 NIH and HHS staff who are brought to a central location in order to educate, share, and listen to attendees over the course of 2 days. This seminar is your opportunity to make direct contact with NIH policy officials, grants management, program and review staff, eRA Commons experts, as well as representatives from the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW), and Office of Research Integrity (ORI).

Who Should Attend
This seminar and optional eRA workshops are appropriate for grants administrators, new and early stage investigators, researchers, graduate students, and anyone interested in the grants administration process. This year we're expanding the program and offering more networking opportunities than ever before...additional Institute/Center representation with one-on-one meeting opportunities and inclusion of sessions on NIH niche programs such as the AREA/R15 program.
