NLM Grants for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health (G13) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Library of Medicine (NLM), within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offered this discretionary grant opportunity to support the creation of substantial scholarly works in biomedicine and health. The program is formally titled "NLM Grants for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health (G13)" and its core purpose is to fund the preparation of book-length manuscripts and other major scholarly products that would be useful to U.S. health professionals, public health officials, biomedical researchers, and historians of the health sciences. In practical terms, this opportunity was designed to help authors and scholarly teams dedicate focused time and resources to produce high-value, publishable works that synthesize knowledge, document historical developments, or otherwise contribute meaningfully to the biomedical and health literature.

This funding announcement is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PAR 11-084 and is associated with the NIH activity category areas of education and health. The CFDA listing provided is 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance), which aligns with NLM's broader mission of advancing access to biomedical information and strengthening the knowledge base that supports research, clinical practice, and public health decision-making. The award mechanism listed is a grant, and the announcement explicitly notes that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving support.

The eligibility for this opportunity was intentionally broad and included many types of organizations that might develop or support scholarly writing projects. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. It also included higher education institutions, both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. A wide range of nonprofit organizations were eligible as well, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (again, other than institutions of higher education). Tribal eligibility was also explicitly covered, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations. The listing also referenced an "Others" category with clarification in the announcement text, signaling that additional applicant types could qualify depending on the specifics described in the full notice.

The "Eligibility Information" section further expanded the range of organizations that could apply. It specifically included Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Notably, it also stated that non-domestic entities (foreign organizations) could be eligible, indicating that NLM was open to supporting scholarly works developed outside the United States if the resulting work would be valuable to the intended U.S. audiences and aligned with program goals. This breadth suggests the program was aimed less at limiting who could apply and more at ensuring the proposed scholarly work would meet NLM's standards for relevance and contribution to the field.

From an administrative timeline perspective, the opportunity was posted on December 20, 2010 (with a creation date of December 21, 2010). The original closing date and the current closing date were both February 23, 2012, after which the opportunity was archived on March 25, 2012. These dates indicate the window during which applications would have been accepted under this particular announcement, and the archive date indicates it was no longer active after that point.

For applicants or interested parties seeking official details, the announcement provided an additional information link to the NIH grants guide page for PAR 11-084 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-084.html). The contact information included the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster email, intended for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement rather than programmatic questions about fit or scope. Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a targeted NLM mechanism to underwrite serious, long-form scholarly writing in biomedicine, health, and the history of health sciences, with a strong emphasis on producing durable works that serve professional, research, public health, and historical audiences in the United States.
