Opportunity Summary:
The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offered this discretionary grant opportunity to support the creation of substantial scholarly publications in biomedicine and health. The program is specifically aimed at underwriting the preparation of book-length manuscripts and other major scholarly works that would be useful to audiences in the United States such as health professionals, public health officials, biomedical researchers, and historians of the health sciences. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help authors and project teams complete significant, well-researched written works that contribute lasting value to the biomedical and health knowledge base, including historically oriented scholarship connected to health and medicine.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number PAR-14-339, titled "NLM Grants for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health (G13)." It falls under the grant funding instrument type and is associated with the education and health funding activity categories. The CFDA listing provided for the program is 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance). No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) was $50,000, indicating the program was designed for relatively targeted support rather than large multi-year research budgets.
The eligibility rules were broad and included many types of U.S.-based organizations across government, education, nonprofit, and business sectors. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, along with public housing authorities and tribal government entities. Both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education were eligible, as were nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status) and for-profit organizations, including small businesses (and other for-profit entities). The announcement also explicitly recognized a wide range of mission-focused or designated institutions and organizations as eligible, such as 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 (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies.
At the same time, the program drew a firm boundary around foreign participation. Foreign institutions and other non-U.S. entities were not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also not eligible. In addition, foreign components (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not allowed, reinforcing that the work supported under this mechanism needed to be carried out entirely within allowable U.S.-based organizational structures.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on September 9, 2014, with the same date listed as the creation date. The original closing date and current closing date were both February 22, 2016, and the archive date was March 24, 2016, meaning the announcement is no longer active for new submissions under that specific posting. Applicants or interested parties were directed to the full announcement on the NIH grants site (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-339.html), and the contact information provided focused on technical assistance for accessing or linking to the funding announcement through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster email (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Overall, this G13 program can be understood as a small-to-moderate NIH/NLM support mechanism meant to help bring major scholarly writing projects to completion, especially those that synthesize knowledge, document historical developments in health sciences, or otherwise produce authoritative, book-length contributions intended to serve the needs of the U.S. biomedical, public health, and scholarly communities.
