NLM Express Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NLM Express Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 11-208) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health grant program administered through the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Its purpose is to support research that advances the science of biomedical informatics, with an emphasis on how information is best organized, managed, disseminated, and used to improve outcomes in biomedical and health-related settings. The program frames biomedical informatics as work at the intersection of computer and information sciences and a specific application domain, such as health care delivery, public health practice, basic biomedical research, or clinical and translational research. In practical terms, projects under this announcement are expected to contribute to the methods, theories, and technologies that make biomedical information more usable and impactful in real-world contexts.

The award is structured as an NIH R01 research project grant, meaning it is intended for hypothesis-driven or methodologically rigorous research that can produce generalizable knowledge, not just local implementations. The announcement is tied to CFDA number 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance) and explicitly notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have institutional funds to contribute. The listed award ceiling is $250,000, signaling that this particular express mechanism is meant to fund focused, well-scoped projects rather than very large, multi-site efforts.

A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply, spanning academic, government, nonprofit, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education, state governments, county and municipal governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and a broad set of nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits (with the noted exception categories in the listing). For-profit organizations (including small businesses) are also eligible, as are public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and additional applicant types referenced in the announcement’s eligibility clarification. The eligibility information further highlights inclusivity for institutions and organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, and tribal entities (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity also allows non-U.S. participation: non-domestic (foreign) organizations are listed as eligible, regional organizations may apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are permitted, indicating that NLM was open to strong informatics research wherever it is based, as long as it fits NIH policy and the scope of the program.

Key administrative details place the opportunity in an earlier funding cycle: it was posted on April 28, 2011, with an original closing date of May 7, 2014. The current closing date shown is August 1, 2013, with an archive date of September 1, 2013, meaning the announcement is no longer active and has been archived. The record also lists a creation date of August 1, 2013, which reflects when this version of the opportunity record was created in the system, not necessarily when the scientific program began.

For applicants or readers looking for the official archived announcement language, the opportunity provides an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-208.html). The contact information included is primarily technical support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for issues accessing or linking to the full electronic announcement, rather than a scientific or grants management contact.
