This National Library of Medicine (NLM) grant, designated as G08, aims to fund projects that significantly improve access to useful, usable, and understandable health information for health disparity populations and their healthcare providers. The program encourages proposals that leverage computer and information technology, alongside health sciences libraries, to deliver health-related data. Special consideration will be given to applications showcasing strong involvement from health science libraries and those submitted by or involving minority-serving institutions. NLM anticipates awarding 5-7 grants, with approximately $700,000 allocated to support this critical initiative.
