NN/LM PNR Announcement: Outreach Funding for Public Health (fwd)

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

Anybody have any suggestions?

I'm fairly certain that PARTNERSHIPS between a public health librarian and
a LHD/PHP/HE would be looked on more favorably. So.... if you know a
public health librarian and have an idea, now's your chance to act on it.

Regards,

Laura

Information Access for Public Health Professionals:

A new initiative is being introduced by the National Library of Medicine
and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine in partnership with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with a vision of
connecting public health professionals with information resources.  In
support of this initiative, a request for quotation (RFQ) is being issued
to provide public health professionals with timely, convenient access to
information resources that can help them do their jobs more effectively.
In response to the RFQ, network members may submit proposals to promote
awareness of relevant public health resources through presentations and
demonstrations; to link health agencies with an NN/LM member library for
document delivery service; to teach health agencies' staff to search the
Internet for reliable and authoritative health information; to demonstrate
and teach the use of PubMed and/or Internet Grateful Med to access MEDLINE
and other NLM databases; and to promote public health uses of the Internet
and connectivity options such as NLM's connections grants program.

Any Network member library, state health sciences library association or
consortia can submit a proposal.  Each proposal must include a statement
of work and a detailed budget not to exceed $50,000.  Proposals must be
received by the NN/LM PNR by August 15, 1998. The period of performance
is up to 24 months.
 
A copy of the request for quotation is available at the NN/LM PNR Web site
at:<http://www.nnlm.nlm.nih.gov/pnr/specproj/pubhealth.html>
