NIH: Regional Medical Libraries for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (UG4)RFA-LM-15-003

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement (UG4) applications for Regional Medical Libraries (RMLs) as an integral component of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). The goal of the NN/LM is to advance the progress of medicine and improve public health by providing U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving individual's access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health. Eight Health Sciences Libraries will function as the RML for their respective region. The RMLs will coordinate the operation of a Network of Libraries and other organizations to carry out regional and national programs. The RMLs will ensure a continuity of quality service for core programs of the NN/LM, and cooperatively design, implement and evaluate innovative approaches to serve the health information needs of health professionals and the public in the future.

USC may only submit one application in response to this program announcement. Your application submission MUST be coordinated with the Office of the Vice President for Research. Please send a two page abstract via email to Richard White (whitejrw@mailbox.sc.edu) by May 21, 2015. In addition to the 2-page abstract, you should also submit a biosketch for the PI.

NIH indicates that an LOI is due by June 24, 2015 and a full proposal is due by July 24, 2015. For more information: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-LM-15-003.html
