NLM Announces: Funding for AIDS Community Information Outreach Now Available

[NNLM PNR]

The National Library of Medicine is pleased to announce the solicitation
of quotations from community-based organizations and libraries to design
and conduct projects that will improve access to HIV/AIDS related health
information by patients, the affected community, and their caregivers.
This solicitation is specifically addressed to minority communities, to
provide opportunities to acquire resources and expertise that may not now
be available. Our belief is that access to quality health information will
assist members of every community in making important decisions about
their health and health care and ultimately result in better health.

Proposals are due no later than 2:00 pm local prevailing time on June 20,
2003.

The solicitation for the 2003 round of AIDS Community Information Outreach
Projects is posted on the NLM web site at

Look for it under the NLM Small Purchases (Simplified Acquisitions)
*RFQ NLM 03-105/CYC entitled "AIDS Information Community Outreach Project"

If you decide to submit a proposal, please carefully review the
instructions, the mandatory criteria, and the technical evaluation
criteria. The solicitation package has been simplified this year to make
the application process more straightforward. If you have questions
regarding the RFQ or submission of your proposal, please contact Cara Y.
