Description

The Naomi C. Broering Latinx Heritage Grant was endowed by MLA Past-President Naomi C. Broering, AHIP, FMLA, on the occasion of her more than 40 plus years as a member of the MLA in 2015. The Broering Latinx Heritage Grant will be awarded annually to a person of Latinx ethnicity, or a person who has an interest in Latinx community information services. Librarians who want to pursue a professional activity in the latest medical information services using the latest technical formats are encouraged to apply. The intent is to encourage health information professionals to gain knowledge about these important areas of practice and support MLA's emphasis on evolving roles for the profession.

The applicant must have the potential to make or has made significant contributions to medical information services using the latest technologies. They must be a member of MLA and be a citizen of or have permanent residence in either the United States or Canada. The applicant may be a recent graduate or a librarian with significant experience in health sciences libraries; or a member of the Latinx under-represented group or have an interest in providing Latinx community information services. The applicant must submit a detailed specific description of the professional development and/or research activity for which support is requested and a detailed itemization of the financial support requested.
