Call for Proposals for NNLM COVID-19 Infodemic Symposium

Posted by on February 15th, 2021 Posted in: Blog


The Network of the National Library of Medicine invites proposals for a virtual symposium: Responding to the COVID-19 Infodemic, on April 8th-9th, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the disparities of underserved, minority, and underrepresented communities. This includes ensuring equal understanding of accurate health information, education in hard hit communities, and valuing inclusion in clinical research to overcome COVID-19. The NNLM Virtual Symposium is an opportunity to engage with NNLM Network Members to address misinformation and mistrust, raise awareness about the pandemic, and efforts to combat it. Symposium attendees can expect to come away from this experience with a better understanding of COVID-19 and share strategies and programs to engage with your community.

Proposals will be due by 11:59PM, February 26th, 2021. To submit, please fill out the form by February 26th.

Decisions will be made and presenters/panelists will be notified of their acceptance by mid-March.
