## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract: Outreach and Education Core: 
This proposal's Outreach and Education Core aims to develop, implement and evaluate outreach and 
education programs that bring biomedical and health information resources to health professionals, public 
health workers, and the general public. Target populations and committed partners have been identified 
representing public health workers; Area Health Education Centers; community health workers; rural health 
clinics; Federally Qualified Health Centers; patient educators; extension professionals; public libraries; K-12 
schools; soldiers, veterans and military families; community- and faith-based organizations; minority, 
underrepresented, refugee and immigrant populations; seniors; health sciences librarians; and community and 
4-year colleges and universities. This program will establish partnerships with organizations that reach these 
populations. Representatives from target populations will serve on Special Advisory Groups and function as 
ambassadors among their constituencies in furthering the goals of the National Network of Libraries of 
Medicine. A subaward program will nurture partners to contribute to outreach and educational activities that 
promote access to information at a grassroots level (Aim 1). A robust, collaborative, and flexible education 
program is presented which is built on feedback and assessment to address target populations' biomedical and 
health information needs (Aim 2). And, the proposal incorporates an ambitious exhibit schedule to promote 
resources at national, regional and state meetings of health professionals, library associations, and 
organizations that represent consumers. A special emphasis will be given to meetings that reach identified 
target populations (Aim 3).
