NLM Express Research Grant in Biomedical Informatics
I’m writing to alert you to a new funding announcement from the National Library of Medicine, PAR 08-080. This is an announcement for investigator-initiated R01 research grants in biomedical informatics and bioinformatics. These grants will be reviewed by NLM’s study section, the Biomedical Library & Informatics Review Committee.
Highlights of the NLM Express Research Grant in Biomedical Informatics that make it different from PA 07-070, the NIH parent announcement that is currently used for R01 applications to NLM:
- modular budget (i.e., direct costs are capped at $250,000 per year)
- research plan component of the application is restricted to 15 pages
- no appendices
- resubmissions must include a 1-page introduction to the amended application
- examples of the basic problem areas and application domains of interest to NLM
