New funding opportunities from the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) Region 5 are open. A Request for Applications is posted for the following awards: 

Technology Equity Awards 

6 awards available, up to $5,000 each 

Designed to support infrastructure that improves equitable access to biomedical and health information. (Example of a similar, previously funded project: Technology Improvement Award: Springfield Public Library Accessibility Station).

Request for Applications (RFA) provides full instructions for applying 

Collection Equity Awards 

7 awards available, up to $1,500 each 

Designed to support collection development that amplifies diverse voices writing on health/medical topics. (The bibliographies from previously funded Collection Equity Awards were compiled to create the Diverse Voices in Health & Medicine Collections Toolkit. This is a good starting point for locating materials for this funding opportunity).
