New Publication Grant Program Fact Sheet Announces Major
Changes
NLM awards small grants, for up to three years, to provide
short-term assistance for the preparation of book-length manuscripts
about information of value to U.S. health professionals. Recently,
however, the program has changed significantly, with increases in
the amount of support available, and a change in the grant
mechanism. For the new fact sheet, go to www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/pubgrant.html.
For additional information, call Publication Grant Program
Officer Susan Sparks, RN, PhD, FAAN, at 301-594-4882. |
