Coming Soon: Funding for collection development and technology from NNLM Region 5

Posted by on November 2nd, 2022 Posted in: Funding, News from NNLM Region 5


New funding opportunities from the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) Region 5 will be available soon. To help you prepare, we’re sharing early information about the funding opportunities and timeline before publishing the Request for Applications (RFA).

Funding opportunities will include:

  • Technology Equity Awards, 6 awards, up to $5,000 each
  • Collection Equity Awards, 7 awards, up to $1,500 each
    • Designed to support collection development that amplifies diverse voices writing on health/medical topics
    • Tip: The bibliographies from previously funded Collection Equity Awards were compiled to create the Diverse Voices in Health & Medicine Collections Toolkit. This is a good starting point for locating materials for this funding opportunity.

Timeline:

  • November 30, 2022: the Request for Applications (RFAs) for Region 5 awards is published on nnlm.gov/funding with complete instructions for applying
  • On or before January 24, 2023, 5:00pm Pacific: send an email to the Region 5 office (nnlm@uw.edu) stating your intent to apply. Note: Region 5 welcomes applications from the same organization for both types of awards. However, Region 5 cannot fund more than one award per organization.
  • February 21, 2023, 5:00pm Pacific: application deadline
  • May 2023: funded projects begin
  • April 2024: funded projects are complete
