NLM Grant ProgramsEssential Theme: Biomedical Informatics • Research grants – investigator initiated research • Resource grants – infrastructure & applied informatics • Training support • Career development support • Grants for small businesses
Research Grants Biomedical Informatics Projects • Traditional investigator-initiated research grants (R01) • Experimental/developmental research grants (R21) • Small grants for pilot study/proof of concept (R03)
Using Research Grants For Education Projects • Traditional investigator-initiated research grants (R01) Must have rigid experimental design • Small grants for pilot study/proof of concept (R03) Must be laying foundation for an experiment • Experimental/developmental research grants (R21) Supports R&D; hypothesis not needed
Some R01 Educat. Projects • Infobuttons to Improve Clinicians' Access to Information • An Intelligent Virtual Microscope Tutor on the Internet • PathMiner: Web Telemicroscopy & Intelligent Databases
R&D Grant For Educat. Project • Collaborative, Simulation-Based, Surgical Training
Resource Grants • improving access to and management of health-related information • Information System Grants (G08) • Publication Grants (G13) • Internet Access • Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems • Resource Grants (P41)
Information System Grants For Education Projects Can support: Web-based, multi-media educational projects that benefitprofessionals and/or consumers
Examples of System GrantsFor Education • Health Education Assets Library Services Enhancement • Hepatitis B Information & Education Delivery on the Web • On- Line Portal for Rural Health Research and Education • Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library • Virtual Databases of Microscopic Anatomy and Pathology
Components of Good Proposals • References to the published literature, especially for R01 • Familiarity with other, similar work • Responsive to the program statement or NLM’s research interests • Clearly-stated goals and methodology • A work plan that fits the stated goals • A timeline and milestones
