The National Institutes of Health (NIH) campuses host a variety of events that inform, challenge, and unite the biomedical research community. IRP investigators lead or participate in many of these events, and they regularly present their work at scientific conferences at the NIH and around the world. We invite you to learn about (and possibly join us in) some of our upcoming events. Unless otherwise noted, times listed are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The ADRD Summit 2025 will be held virtually on April 29, April 30, and June 2.The Summit provides an opportunity for public comments and discussions to help shape future recommendations for ADRD research priorities.
The ADRD Summits complement the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Summits, and the National Research Summits on Care, Services, and Supports. These summits are coordinated planning efforts that respond to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, first released in 2012 and now updated annually. The conferences set national research recommendations that reflect critical scientific priorities for research on Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD).
The ADRD Summit 2025 will address research priorities for Alzheimer's disease-related dementias, including frontotemporal degeneration, Lewy body, multiple etiology dementias, and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia, along with broader cross-cutting areas. Significant portions of the Summit will be dedicated to public comment on the updated draft research recommendations. The Summit will conclude with a review of the highlights from the sessions and summary of the major themes from the public comments. Based on input received at the Summit, the recommendations will be revised and presented to the NINDS Council for approval. Approved recommendations will become research milestones in the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease.
Registration is required. Please register by April 29, 2025.
Lipsett Amphitheater, NIH Clinical Center (Building 10)
Hear from the next generation of clinician-scientists at this year's NIH Medical Research Scholars (MRSP) Research Symposium! The three-day event, grouped by scientific focus, will consist of oral presentations highlighting the research of the 2024-2025 MRSP class.
No registration is required for on-site attendance, but registration is required to view the event online.
During this full-day event, NIH intramural postbac research fellows gather to share their research with each other, the broader NIH community, and other attendees visiting NIH. If you are a current NIH postbac, Postbac Poster Day is your opportunity to share the research you have been doing at NIH and practice your communication and networking skills. Whether you are new to NIH or have been here for a while, we encourage all postbacs to take advantage of this opportunity to present your work.
An NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health annual signature event, the Vivian W. Pinn Symposium honors the first full-time director of the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women’s Health, Vivian W. Pinn, M.D. The symposium is held every year during National Women’s Health Week.
This year’s symposium, “Advancing Data-Driven Innovation for the Health of Women," focuses on how data science skills, resources, and training can build capacity for interdisciplinary data analyses.
Masur Auditorium, NIH Clinical Center (Building 10)
Biomedical science is in the early phase of a technological revolution, driven in large part by innovations in deep learning neural network architecture and availability of computational power. These cutting-edge techniques are being applied to every sub-field of the biological sciences, and with novel ground-breaking advancements arriving every week it is challenging for researchers to stay up to speed on what is available and possible.
This one-day in-person NIH AI Symposium will bring together researchers from a broad range of disciplines to share their AI-related research, with the goal of disseminating the newest AI research, providing an opportunity to network, and to cross-pollinate ideas across disciplines in order to advance AI research in biomedicine. We welcome all NIH researchers who are interested in AI, from novices to experts.
Natcher Conference Center (NIH Building 45); and online
Join us in person or virtually for the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Symposium on October 6 and 7, 2025. Hosted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the CCDI Symposium brings together the childhood cancer community to learn about CCDI programs and resources intended to advance research and clinical care— with the aim of fostering collaboration, innovation, and transformative strategies.
Registration is free and required in order to attend in-person or virtually. Online registration will close on August 7, 2025. On-site registration will not be available.
