Opportunity Summary:
The NLM Applied Informatics Grants (G08) opportunity, offered through the National Institutes of Healths National Library of Medicine (NLM), is designed to help health-related and scientific organizations improve how clinical and research information is used in real-world settings. The central goal is practical impact: taking what has already been learned through informatics and information science research and turning it into working tools, systems, and services that make biomedical knowledge easier to access, understand, and apply for the people who need it. In other words, this program is focused on implementation and optimization, supporting projects that use information technology to deliver usable, useful knowledge directly to end users through new or upgraded informatics solutions.
This funding announcement uses the G08 grant mechanism, which in this context supports applied informatics efforts rather than basic research alone. The emphasis is on translating existing evidence and informatics findings into operational practice, such as developing or enhancing systems that improve information delivery, decision support, knowledge management, data integration, or other services that strengthen the utility of biomedical information in clinical, research, educational, or public health environments.
NLM expected to make roughly 3 to 5 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of about 800,000. The maximum award amount listed is 150,000. As with many federal opportunities, awards depend on the availability of appropriated funds and on receiving enough high-quality, competitive applications.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of organizations across government, education, nonprofit, and private sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments. The eligibility list also explicitly includes certain institution types and community-based entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal government agencies, and US territories or possessions. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number RFA-LM-09-001, titled NLM Applied Informatics Grants (G08), categorized as a discretionary grant, and associated with CFDA 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance). The announcement was posted April 13, 2009, with an application closing date of July 1, 2009, and an archive date of August 1, 2009.
