PSRML Express Outreach Awards

PSRML is seeking applicants for outreach grants of up to $6,000. There will be two rounds of awards with up to four awards in each round. The goals of the Express Outreach Awards are: to promote outreach by network members to share their expertise and resources with a target audience not normally reached, to encourage partnerships and community-focused activities in support of the NN/LM mission, to promote awareness and use of the products and services of NLM and the NN/LM, and to improve access to health information for those health professionals and health consumers.

Your proposal may target: public health professionals, personnel at a healthcare facility or community agency, members of the general public, populations suffering from poor health status, geographic areas without adequate access to information resources, or populations without adequate health information literacy skills. To apply, go to the PSRML Express Outreach Awards page.
