Other Information Part 2. Full Text of Announcement Section I. Notice of Funding Opportunity Description This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) solicits resource grant applications for projects that will provide accurate, useful, usable, and understandable health information to populations that experience health disparities and their health care providers.

This NOFO supports the development of resources that can be used to make decisions that improve health and well-being and lead to reductions in health disparities. Access to accurate, useful, usable, and understandable health information is an important factor when making health decisions.

Proposed projects should harness the capabilities of information technology and medical or health libraries to disseminate clear, evidence-based health-related information in formats used by individuals and their health care providers.

Proposed projects should emphasize the development and deployment of new information resources or services, or expand and improve an existing resource or service, to meet the needs of populations experiencing health disparities. This NOFO requires the inclusion of a resource evaluation plan and evidence of resource sustainability.

As the world’s largest biomedical library, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides information services and products to a wide range of audiences, including librarians, healthcare professionals, community members, and policymakers.

With such a complex group of users, NLM recognizes the importance of anticipating the needs of different populations under different contexts, which is why person-centric, and community-conscious design strategies are critical components of NLM’s vision for enhanced engagement.

As part of NLM’s commitment to user engagement, NLM promotes the awareness of information resources, works to understand information needs, facilitates access, and prioritizes the ability for all to use information resources.

As the leader for informatics resources for biomedicine and health, NLM is committed to developing innovative outreach approaches where information access can reduce health disparities, and support underserved communities that bear a disproportionate burden of disease.

The NLM Information Resources Grants to Reduce Health Disparities and Promote Health for All (G08) program addresses NLM’s second strategic goal, “To reach more people in more ways through enhanced dissemination and engagement pathways”. This goal is achievable by translating the needs of community, clinical and scholarly audiences into innovative and impactful methods and information dissemination strategies.

The focus of the G08 program is on putting research knowledge into practice by providing information resources tailored to meet the needs of various communities and those who provide health care in various settings.

Many factors influence the use of information in health decisions, including usability and user access factors (such as Internet and library access when managing health and health care), personal access factors (such as usability, readability, understandability, and health information presentation format), and other social determinants of health.

Resource Project Objectives The G08 program supports resource projects that use information technology to improve the organization and management of health-related information, with a broad range of usability, user and personal access factors considered.

Strategies proposed to achieve NLM’s G08 programmatic goals should be scalable, sustainable, generalizable and have the potential to provide useful information to communities that experience health disparities and those who provide health care for these communities, including doctors, nurse practitioners, midwives, hospitals, health centers, and clinics.

Applications submitted to this notice of funding opportunity must provide evidence that the intended audience is a population with health disparities or a health care provider for one of these populations.

A population that experiences health disparities must have a significant disparity in the overall disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, or survival rates in the population compared to the health status of the general population. Proposals that do not address a health disparity will be withdrawn for non-responsiveness.

In planning, applicants must include evidence of a collaboration with a medical or health library to ensure that materials developed have generalizability and are capable of being disseminated through medical or health libraries and their instrumentalities. Applicants are expected to present evidence of their demonstrated commitment to the needs of communities that experience health disparities.

This NOFO requires the inclusion of a resource evaluation plan and evidence of resource sustainability. An evaluation plan that measures the value of the resource, usability, and user experience, should be provided in the application. Evaluations that meet the definition of a clinical trial are not allowed under this funding mechanism and will be withdrawn for non-responsiveness.

Topics that are responsive to this grant program include, but are not limited to: Developing or upgrading health information resources or services to meet the information needs of groups that experience health disparities . Providing health information resources or services to community organizations who serve populations that experience health disparities.

Developing novel information strategies to facilitate the implementation of innovative patient-centered care and precision medicine for a variety of communities. Developing information resources that enable persons from populations that experience health disparities to make informed decisions regarding research participation, such as providing culturally tailored clinical trial education materials.

Facilitating the use of library resources to identify population needs related to types and forms of information, including information visualizations, displays and interfaces to access information, to assist in making health-related decisions.

Applications Not Responsive to the NOFO The following types of projects are non-responsive to the scope of NLM's Information Resource Grants to Reduce Health Disparities and Promote Health for All program: Projects that do not address a population that experiences health disparities . Projects that do not include a medical or health library. Evaluations that meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial .

Installation of online library catalogs. Electronic health record systems, single-purpose or closed clinical information systems such as a stand-alone laboratory system or picture archiving system (PACS). Digitization of print materials.

Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.

Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? Is the prior research that serves as the key support for the proposed project rigorous? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved?

How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Specific to this NOFO: Is there a focus on population(s) that experience health disparities or those who provide health care for these populations? Has the information problem and its context been clearly stated?

Is there evidence that the intended audience can benefit from the proposed information resource? To what extent does the proposed resource fill a gap or meet a need for those who experience health disparities and/or those who provide health care for these populations? If the project is successful, how accessible would the resource be to the intended audience?

Can the proposed resource be institutionalized, or made available, at a medical or health library, or sustainably through an online resource? Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or those in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training?

If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance, and organizational structure appropriate for the project? Specific to this NOFO: Does the expertise of the investigative team fit the goals of the proposed project?

Is there a medical or health sciences librarian on the team or does a member of the team have expertise in library science? To what extent has the investigative team partnered with community-based groups to develop and/or plan to disseminate health related resources?

Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense?

Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed? Specific to this NOFO: To what extent have the applicants proposed creative new strategies to meet the informational needs of groups that experience health disparities and/or to those who serve these communities in some capacity?

To what extent is the approach generalizable for other organizations that wish to undertake similar work? Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project? Have the investigators included plans to address weaknesses in the rigor of prior research that serves as the key support for the proposed project?

Have the investigators presented strategies to ensure a robust and unbiased approach, as appropriate for the work proposed? Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?

Have the investigators presented adequate plans to address relevant biological variables, such as sex, for studies in vertebrate animals or human subjects?

If the project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, are the plans to address 1) the protection of human subjects from research risks, and 2) as required by statute, inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion or exclusion of individuals of all ages (including children and older adults), justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?

Specific to this NOFO: How likely is the user-centered approach to development, deployment, and evaluation to result in a valuable resource? To what extent are representatives of the target audience involved in the design and evaluation of the project? Are the content features of the information such as selection, source, credibility,
