Dear Colleagues,

We have just issued a new RFA for a grant which blends aspects of our
Information Access grants and Internet Connection grant programs. Please
feel free to circulate the description below to all who might be interested.

Regards, Valerie

The National Library of Medicine has issued a Request for Applications for
its INTERNET ACCESS TO DIGITAL LIBRARIES grant. The purpose of the grant is
to help health-related organizations provide their health professionals,
staff, researchers, librarians and clients with access to digital health
information resources and services of the highest quality. The Internet
Access to Digital Libraries grant supports a variety of activities and
services for health-related organizations wishing to offer access to
information provided by NLM and others, to transfer files and images, and to
interact by e-mail and videoconferencing with colleagues or patients. A
request for connectivity to the Internet, or evidence that Internet
connectivity is already available, is fundamental to successful grant
applications in this program.

For a single institution, support is available up to $45,000 for a one or
two-year project. Multi-site organizations or consortia may request the base
amount plus $8,000 for each additional site. The grant provides support for
direct costs only, including personnel, hardware and software, training,
travel and other costs related to implementation of the proposed project.

U.S. public and private, non-profit health related organizations are
eligible to apply. For this RFA, letters of intent are due April 26, 2002
and applications are due May 24, 2002. The RFA is available online at
