Activity Codes
NIH uses three-character activity codes to differentiate the wide variety of research-related programs NIH supports. The first character typically identifies the major funding category or program type. For example, activity codes for research and development often start with "R," training with "T," fellowship with "F," and career development with "K." Each institute and center (IC) participates in a subset of activity codes. Although each activity code has a broadly defined purpose, there may be differences in their use from one IC to another. Applicants should always refer to the funding opportunity for the specific requirements and details of an initiative.
| Activity Code ▼ | Funding Category | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| G13 | Research and Development | Health Sciences Publication Support Awards (NLM) | To provide short-term assistance for the preparation of book-length manuscripts about important scientific information needed by U.S. health professionals. Grants are awarded for major critical reviews and analyses of historical studies and current developments in informatics, technology, librarianship, and secondary reference materials in the biomedical field. Publication in formats other than print-on-paper (e.g., electronic, film, etc.) are encouraged, as are new and innovative ways of organizing and presenting information. Publication grants do not support journals or other serials and are not suitable for operation of established databases. Work judged to have significant commercial viability will not be supported by these grants. |
