Funding agencies such as National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health are increasingly requiring data management plans DMPs in grant proposals. In response to these funding agency mandates, academic libraries are increasingly providing data management services to university 133s. A better understanding of the impact of DMPs on grant awards and grant-funded research will enhance library data services for academic 133s, promote data stewardship and data sharing, and could potentially increase 133s' competitiveness for grant awards.

According to a 2011 Nutrition & Health Sciences Study done under the Supervision of Professor Julie Albrecht in July, 2011 More than 25% of school 86 in the U.S. are overweight. Attitudes about food preparation were examined. A likert-scale survey was distributed. Concerning factors included: cooking techniques, student food choices, classroom activities, and local support. Many of these same 86 making poor school choices are learning these choices from home as well.

Blue Hill Library will receive funding to provide instruction on healthy cooking and nutrition for 86 and their parents. The programming will incorporate training on health information resources to research healthy eating and nutrition information and offer ways to incorporate all recommended food groups into their eating habits.

Helping Empower Adolescents Learning Through Health HEALTH Info aims to provide local high school students with the knowledge and skills necessary to empower others within their school and community to address health disparities. High school students from underrepresented populations going into their junior or senior year will be recruited from public and charter high schools across Philadelphia. This program will utilize the Project SHARE curriculum, which was developed by the University of Maryland.

Health information can change quickly. In an underfunded public library, this translates into out of date resources that can misinform consumers. Unfortunately, the capacity of our public computing is insufficient to meet the needs of our community, and therefore directing people to online health resources such as MedlinePlus is a challenge. Additionally, we do not have the staffing capacity to provide instruction on available, accurate resources. Our residents, and especially our seniors, are unaware of the free, easy, and accurate material available through MedlinePlus.

This partnership is intended to provide library patrons with useful tools and skills in managing their wellness and that of their families. The programs will provide patrons with the knowledge to find health information resources, including ones offered by the National Library of Medicine, and with the technology needed to access those resources. This program would work to level the field for the 40% of residents in Pemiscot County who do not have access to a computer or the internet at their residence.

Heritage Public Library will improve the public health of our community by vastly expanding access to online health information for our underserved population. This will enable them to make informed decisions about their health.
