SuRE Biennial Conference

Next Conference will be held on July 15-16, 2027

The SuRE Resource Center, in cooperation with the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), provides a scientific conference for SuRE R16 participants.

Our next conference will be held on July 15-16, 2027 on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD. This event will be an opportunity to share science with colleagues and to network with fellow R16 faculty, students, and research administrative staff.

The agenda includes networking opportunities, keynote speakers, faculty oral presentations, sessions for research administrators/staff, and career development and oral/poster sessions for trainees. NIGMS grants management specialists and program officials will be present to meet with you and answer your questions.

Additional information and registration will be available in early 2027.
