Opportunity Summary:
The National Library of Medicine (NLM), an institute within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offered this funding opportunity to support the creation of substantial scholarly products in biomedicine and health. The program is designed specifically to help authors prepare book-length manuscripts and other major scholarly works that would be useful to U.S. health professionals, public health officials, biomedical researchers, and historians of the health sciences. In practical terms, this is a writing and scholarship focused grant rather than a traditional research project grant, with the main goal being the development, completion, and dissemination of high-value scholarly content.
Funding is provided through the NIH G13 grant mechanism, which is typically used for discrete scholarly or scientific efforts such as writing, analysis, synthesis, and other forms of scholarly production. NLM expected to make about five new awards per year under this program, with an estimated total annual program spending of around $400,000 for new awards. While that gives a sense of scale, the final number of awards and total dollars actually awarded were explicitly tied to the quality of applications received, as well as the proposed project durations and budgets. The listed award ceiling for an individual grant was $50,000, and the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant within the broad activity areas of education and health, and it fell under CFDA 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance). The funding announcement number was PAR-09-030, and it was originally posted on December 4, 2008. The original and current closing date listed for that cycle was February 2, 2010, with the announcement later archived on March 5, 2010, meaning it is no longer open but remains a useful reference for the structure and intent of the program.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of applicants. Eligible entities included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and multiple levels of government (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities including Indian housing authorities). The eligibility list also covered federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, as well as a range of mission- or population-focused institutions 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 faith-based or community-based organizations. In addition, the announcement allowed eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-U.S. (foreign) entities, indicating that NLM was open to supporting strong scholarly works regardless of where the authoring organization was based, as long as the work aligned with the program purpose and served the intended audiences.
For applicants and interested parties, NIH provided an official announcement link through the NIH grants guide (PAR-09-030) and included support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster emails for access or linking issues. Overall, the program can be understood as targeted support for producing authoritative, book-length or comparable scholarly works that synthesize, interpret, and communicate knowledge in biomedicine and health, with particular emphasis on usefulness to the U.S. health and research communities and to the historical scholarship of health sciences.
