We can only consider funding requests from U.S. institutions of higher education (IHE) or nonprofit organizations as described in 2 CFR 25.345, including foreign public entities and foreign organizations operated primarily for scientific, educational, service, charitable, or similar purposes in the public interest. We do not award grants to organizations with a for-profit organization type. Our support for a workshop or conference is not an endorsement of any organization.Our financial support through grants for conferences and workshops is dependent on the availability of funds, Program Officers discretion, and certain other restrictions as described in the full announcement.
