Congratulations, University of Alaska Anchorage and Kathy Murray!
NLM has announced the awards of 13 contracts totaling $650,000 for public health projects. One library in our region wrote a successful application. Here's the abstract:
"The "Outreach to Alaska's Public Health Professionals"
will target the public health workforce in the eight Divisions
of Public Health in the Department of Health and Social Services.
The primary target group will be the public health nurses throughout
Alaska and the Emergency Medical Services System (EMS) personnel
will be the secondary target audience. Collaborative partners
are The Alaska Health Education Library Project (AHELP), the Alaska
Public Health Association, the Alaska Health Education Consortium
(AHEC), and the Alaska Public Health Improvement Process (APHIP).
Project objectives include: 1) increasing awareness of national
and state health information resources and services, 2) increasing
access
to the Internet and other information resources within the state,
3) training public health nurses and emergency medical services
personnel in the use of the Internet and state health information
resources, and 4) providing support for the Alaska Health Education
Library Project. Work
stations will be provided for those sites in need of computers.
Additional activities include onsite training, sponsoring three
public health information video conferences and developing training
materials."
