NNLM Region 7 is excited to announce the Collection Equity Award.

The Award is designed to help build collections that are reflective of voices of the communities served which may be revealed through different genres such as graphic medicine, fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, Young Adult, manuscripts (published and unpublished), oral histories and film. Expanding diverse voices in libraries (all types), public health agencies, academic programs, or community organizations ensures collection equity and supports health literacy by illuminating health issues either common, or conversely, unique to undeserved populations in the region.

• Funding Period: January 24, 2022 – April 30, 2022
• Amount: Up to $2,000
• Application Deadline: February 28, 2022

The RFP and application are available on the website.

Applications must be received by 5pm EST on February 28, 2022.
