Under cooperative agreement with the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), and in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program, the NNLM PNR is pleased to request proposals for a new round of funding opportunities. The awards are designed to support  outreach projects to support health literacy and community engagement about the NIH All of Us Research Program. Preference will be given to proposals submitted by public libraries, or to organizations with plans to collaborate with a public library partner.

NNLM PNR member organizations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington are eligible to apply.   If your organization is not currently a member, it’s easy to join!

If you intend to submit an application for either award, we need a Letter of Intent no later than Wednesday, April 3, that provides a brief summary of the project you will propose and the type of award you will apply for.  Please send  your Letter of Intent to nnlm@uw.edu and include the type of award in the subject line.  The deadline for submitting your completed application for either award is May 1, 2019 at 3:00 Pacific Time.
