In this timely and interactive webinar, research administrators will explore the current state of the NIH Policy on Foreign Subawards as it stands at the time of the session. With ongoing changes in the federal research landscape, institutions are navigating heightened scrutiny, evolving requirements, and increased operational complexity related to foreign collaborations.
This session will provide an overview of the policy updates from the National Institutes of Health, discuss practical implications for existing and future foreign subawards, and highlight how institutions are adapting their processes to remain compliant while sustaining critical global research partnerships. Participants will also engage in shared discussion around emerging best practices, challenges, and strategies being implemented across the research administration community.
This webinar is designed for pre-award, post-award, compliance, and research leadership professionals who support NIH-funded projects involving foreign entities.

- It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge or Safari.
- Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
- Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
- We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
- It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
- Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
