Funding-Limited Submission: Office on Women’s Health (OWH) - Women's Health Conference Support Request for Proposals (RFP) 2012-2013; July 30, 2012

Purpose: This funding opportunity provides partial support for women's and girl’s health conferences in the United States and its affiliated territories. OWH funds cannot be the sole source of support for the proposed conference. Other contributors and the amount of their contribution must be specified in the budget section of this RFP.

The primary focus of the conference must be issues that impact the health of women and/or girls. Women’s and girls' health encompasses all aspects of health including mental, physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional well-being. 

Priority will be given to conferences that use evidence-based information and best practices. The content of the conference should provide innovative opportunities to support wellness and enhance health outcomes for women and girls.

Guidelines and additional information are available in the attached document (RFP Women’s Health Conference Support 2012-2013.docx).

Internal Competition: Because The Office of Women’s Health limits an institution to one submission, the University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process. Researchers interested in applying are to submit the following material electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at vpr@email.uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Monday, July 30, 2012:

• Names and departments or affiliations of the principal Investigator, and other key personnel or partners;
• Brief description of your conference plan including objectives and primary activities (2 pages max.).

A committee will be convened to review the material and make recommendations as to the University’s submission. Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or 257-1663.)
