Announcement of Upcoming Solicitation from NLM

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

I've been asked to forward this message to you from the NN/LM
headquarters. See below for announcement. Pass along the message to alert
those who may not be on the list of this opportunity.

Network members are generally libraries such as the Health Sciences
Library and Information Center at the University of Washington. I believe
some public libraries also qualify as afiliate members. Afiliate members
are also eligible to work with you.

This is an awfully good opportunity to work with knowledgeable librarians
and build partnerships that will benefit both librarians and you.

Regards,

Laura Larsson

Forwarded message...

Later this summer, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM)
will issue a solicitation for new outreach proposals.  The solicitation
will focus on projects designed to improve access to electronic health
information for such groups and organizations as consumers, underserved
and minority health care professionals, public health workers, public
libraries, and community-based and faith-based organizations.

Two levels of funding will be available.  Single institutions that are
network members or groups of institutions with at least one network member
may submit applications.  For a single institution, funding will be
available for up to $10,000, and a group of two or more institutions may
receive up to $40,000.  The official announcement will be released on
August 1st and proposals will be due by October 1st.
