The Medical Library Association (MLA) is now accepting applications for the
MLA Librarians without Borders® / Elsevier Foundation / Research4Life
Grants. Applications will be open until December 1, 2020.

Funded by the Elsevier Foundation, the grants support training activities
that promote the use of the scientific resources available in Research4Life
(www.research4life.org) in low-income countries. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, we encourage individuals to submit proposals for digital trainings.
Projects could include creating new training modules or videos, organizing
an online course on Research4Life targeting specific audiences, or other
initiatives that promote the Research4Life programs and their training
resources.

Through its five programs (Hinari, AGORA, OARE, ARDI and GOALI) ,
Research4Life provides researchers at more than 10,000 institutions in over
125 low- and middle-income countries with free or affordable online access
to 119,000 leading journals and books in the fields of health, agriculture,
environment, applied sciences and legal information from 160 publisher
partners.

Grants range from USD 1,500 to USD 5,000 and will be distributed in June
2021. The proposed project should be completed by December 31, 2022.
Individuals or institutions involved in any aspect of Research4Life are
encouraged to apply.

For information on eligibility, terms and how to apply, including an
application checklist, go to https://www.mlanet.org/p/cm/ld/fid=949 or
