See below for requirements related to conference support.
Overview
The purpose of conference support funding is to provide PARTIAL support for specific nonfederal conferences in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention information/education programs. Because conference support by ob体育 creates the appearance of ob体育 co-sponsorship, there will be active participation by ob体育 in the development and approval of those portions of the agenda supported by ob体育 funds. ob体育 funds will not be expended for non-approved portions of meetings. In addition, ob体育 will reserve the right to approve or reject the content of the full agenda, press events, promotional materials (including press releases), speaker selection, and site selection. Contingency awards will be made allowing usage of only 10% of the total amount to be awarded until a final full agenda is approved by ob体育. This 10% portion will provide funds to support costs associated with preparation of the agenda. The remainder of funds will be released only upon approval of the final full agenda. ob体育 reserves the right to terminate co-sponsorship if it does not concur with the final agenda.
Any conference sponsored by ob体育 or ATSDR shall be held in facilities that are fully accessible to the public as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). Accessibility as per ADAAG also addresses accommodations for persons with sensory impairments.
The conference organizer(s) may use ob体育's name only in factual publicity for the conference, and they should understand that ob体育 involvement in the conference does not necessarily indicate support for the organizer's general policies, activities, products, or service.
