Announcement of Funding
Continuity of Health Information Award
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine MidContinental Region (NN/LM MCR) is again accepting proposals for the Continuity of Health Information Award during the contract year May 1, 2009 - April 30, 2010. Proposals will be reviewed upon submittal and worthy projects will be immediately funded. Deadline for applications is December 31, 2009.
There will be no solicitation for proposals for the final contract year May 1, 2010 - April 30, 2011.
The purpose of the Continuity of Health Information Award is to fund innovative projects in three areas: Health Information Literacy, Hospital Library Advocacy and Emergency Preparedness. Continuity of Health Information is a hallmark of each of these areas and each is an area of focus for the NN/LM MCR. This solicitation asks Network members to choose one focus area and develop a project that will be funded up to $15,000.
