Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 23 183
The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is offering the "NLM Grants for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health (G13 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" under funding opportunity number PAR 23 183. This discretionary grant program supports the development and preparation of book-length manuscripts and similar substantial scholarly products that have clear academic value or public health importance. The intended audience for the finished work includes U.S. health professionals, public health officials, biomedical researchers, and historians of the health sciences. In practical terms, this is a writing and scholarly production grant rather than a research trial program, and it is specifically marked as "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning projects proposing clinical trials would not fit this opportunity.
The core purpose is to help applicants produce rigorous, high-impact written works in biomedicine, health, and the health sciences that can inform professional practice, public health understanding, biomedical research, and historical scholarship. While the announcement centers on book-length manuscripts, the language also allows for "other works" of scholarly or public health significance, suggesting NLM is open to major scholarly outputs that are comparable in scope and contribution, so long as they align with the program's educational and health-related goals.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations across the public, private, nonprofit, and academic sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and a wide range of nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education when specified in those categories). For-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses are also eligible, as well as "other" entities as allowed by NIH policy for this program. The NOFO also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant types such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal government agencies, regional organizations, tribal governments other than federally recognized, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. (foreign) organizations. This wide eligibility reflects an intent to encourage scholarship and authoritative works from many institutional settings and perspectives, including historically underserved and internationally based institutions where relevant.
The funding activity category is listed under Education and Health, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the program is 93.879. The award ceiling shown is $75,000, indicating the maximum award amount anticipated per grant under the posted summary data. The opportunity lists an original closing date of 2026-02-26, which functions as a key submission deadline for applicants planning their proposal timelines. The source data does not specify an expected number of awards, so applicants should not assume a particular success rate from the summary alone and should rely on the full NOFO details and NIH guidance for competitiveness expectations.
Overall, this opportunity is best viewed as support for producing a substantial, well-argued, well-documented scholarly work that will matter to biomedical and public health audiences in the United States, including those working in practice, policy, research, and the history of medicine and health sciences. Projects that mainly involve conducting a clinical trial are out of scope, while proposals focused on developing a major manuscript or comparable scholarly work with clear relevance to biomedicine, health, or public health are the central fit for this program.Apply for PAR 23 183
