Past Funded Projects

The aim of this project is to recruit a cohort of high schoolers to complete the Project SHARE Student Health Advocates Redefining Empowerment curriculum created by the University of Maryland and as key collaborators the 87 will help plan and implement a community outreach event targeting other 87, specifically with the goal of improving awareness and access to NLM resources for this population. The curriculum will be supplemented by local guest speakers and field trips.

The Research Data Management Best Practice Implementation project supports the National Network of Libraries of Medicine NNLM goal of building 'capacity in data management practices, services and tools to support FAIR data guiding principles 1'. This program will increase graduate student knowledge of data management best practices, promote student understanding of how data management integrates into their research work, and determine if these practices are adopted long term.

The University of Alabama at Birminghams Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences has long been recognized as a leading health sciences library in the state of Alabama. In 2017, the library added two LulzBot Taz 6 3D printers as part of a university-funded project intended to investigate the feasibly of creating anatomical and molecular models for use in the librarys circulating collection.

The goals and objectives of the project are as follows: Speak to faculty about which topics/subjects to cover in our online interactive learning modules to improve students' research skills Test and become familiar with SoftChalk as our software for creating the modules Create three online interactive modules based on faculty feedback with collaboration and advise of TLT staff Attend training on instructional design and online education Such as SIDLIT Summer Institute on Distance Learning and Instructional Technology 2018 : August 2 3 in Overland Park, KS Learn skills that will he

The goal of the project is to improve the value of research produced by students, faculty, and staff at WSU Spokane.

The Penn State Hazleton Library and Department of Biology propose to utilize Virtual Reality VR Anatomy hardware and software in undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology education. This project will provide students with access to innovative technology enhancing their learning experiences. VR hardware and 3D VR anatomy software will be made available to health sciences students enrolled in anatomy and physiology courses.

EHP is requesting a grant award in the amount of $16,338.00 to work with Penn State Fayette, Eberly Campus, Nursing Program, to provide information relating to the potential health effects of exposure to unconventional oil and gas development UOGD to individuals in proximity to these activities. To achieve this goal, we will work with nursing faculty, the campus nurse, and students BSN and RN to BSN to educate and disseminate information about UOGD.

The purpose of this project will be to create and establish a symposium to develop high level critical appraisal skills in librarians who work with health care information. Many health sciences librarians provide evidence based medicine EBM training at their home institutions. For most their involvement in this training is limited to training: asking questions PICO; searching resources; and only a rudimentary coverage of critical appraisal of clinical information.

Clinicians directly searching PubMed can apply the Core Clinical Journal CCJ filter to restrict retrieval. The existing CCJ list hasnt been updated since 1979, thus reducing access to the most clinically relevant biomedical and health information. Although PubMed comprises over 28 million citations, the filter to find those for patient care is currently suboptimal. This project would convene the Medical Library Association committee that was formed at the request of NLM to update the CCJ subset.

The goal of this project is to develop and administer workshops that raise the computational competencies of undergraduate and graduate students, specifically addressing skills necessary to succeed in data-intensive scientific research. This suite of workshops will provide students at Montana State University MSU with a basic understanding of coding, with introductions to data processing, visualization, and analysis. Introductory and intermediate R workshops will be offered at the beginning of each semester.

Funding is requested for Mary Cabral to attend Systematic Review Workshop: The Nuts and Bolts for Librarians.
