Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement (UG4) applications for Regional Medical Libraries (RMLs) as the central component of the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM). The NNLM consists of 7 regional medical libraries and thousands of member organizations located throughout the US. The mission of the NNLM is to provide U.S. researchers, health professionals, public health workforce, educators, and the public with equal access to biomedical and health information resources and data. The RMLs carry out regional and national programs in support of the mission. This includes training, funding, and engagement opportunities for member libraries and other organizations to carry out regional and national programs. Regionally, RMLs assess and interpret the needs of current and potential audiences to expand the reach and impact of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). As a group, the RMLs ensure continuity for essential programs of the NNLM, and cooperatively design, implement, and evaluate innovative approaches to serving the biomedical and health information needs of researchers, health professionals, public health workforce, educators, and the public in communities across the U.S., including persons who experience health disparities and populations underrepresented in biomedical research.
