Opportunity Summary:
The NLM Express Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics (R01) funding opportunity (PAR-13-300) is a discretionary NIH grant program run through the National Library of Medicine that supports innovative, investigator-driven research in biomedical informatics. NLM frames biomedical informatics as the science of how to optimally organize, manage, present, and use information related to human health and biology. The intent is to fund research that produces new concepts, methods, tools, and approaches that push the field forward and, importantly, have clear potential to improve human health.
In terms of scope, NLM emphasizes that its informatics interests are broad and explicitly interdisciplinary. The opportunity covers informatics problem areas that arise across multiple application domains, including health care delivery, public health, basic biomedical research, bioinformatics, biological modeling, translational research, and health information management in disasters. In practice, this means projects can range from foundational informatics questions (for example, new data models, knowledge representation approaches, algorithms, or evaluation methods) to applied informatics research where the key contribution is a generalizable advance in informatics rather than a one-off software build or local deployment. The unifying theme is that the work should advance what is known in biomedical informatics and be relevant to real health or biological information challenges.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 grant mechanism (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and falls under activity categories tied to education and health, with CFDA number 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance). The program does not require cost sharing or matching. The listed award ceiling is $250,000, indicating the program targets relatively modest, focused research efforts compared to some larger-scale R01 budgets, consistent with the "Express" framing.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations such as state governments, county and city/township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. It also includes nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (including those that are not small businesses). Beyond those standard categories, the announcement explicitly allows a wide range of additional eligible applicants, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI). Faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal government agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions are also included. Notably, foreign participation is permitted: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components as defined under NIH policy are allowed.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on August 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016, meaning it is no longer active as a current competition but remains accessible as a historical funding announcement. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH Grants Guide website at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-300.html. For access or technical issues related to the posting, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
