Details:
Grants are awarded for major critical reviews, state-of-the-art summaries, historical studies, and other useful organizations of knowledge in clinical medicine, public health, biomedical research, and informatics/information sciences. Regardless of topic, there should be clear evidence that the scholarly work proposed fills a void and has considerable usefulness to the intended audience.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is being released to assist scholars in biomedical fields since they often face competing demands for their time, including requirements for clinical care services, teaching, research and administrative duties. Therefore, it is the intent of this NOFO to provide for a grant award that will provide significant protected time to support the writing of a scholarly work that reflects thoughtful analysis and synthesis. Given that this award will only cover two years of support, it is expected that applicants have their ideas well solidified, and all materials needed to write the scholarly work collected before applying to this NOFO.

- Works focusing on the history or philosophy of medicine, public health and the life sciences, the development of medical research and health services, bioethics, and studies on the interrelationship of medicine and society.
