The MLA Medical Informatics Career Development Grant was established in 1997 by the Medical Informatics Section, now the Medical Informatics Caucus. It provides for a career development activity that will contribute to the advancement of the field of medical informatics. This grant may be used for MLA professional development opportunities offered through MEDLIB-ED that meet the grant criteria. Applicants must be a member of MLA. They must have a master's of library science or equivalent degree and have the potential to make significant contributions to medical informatics. They may be either a recent graduate or a librarian with significant experience in health sciences libraries. It is preferred that the applicant be a member of the Medical Informatics Caucus and update their MLA member profile page. The grant jury will assess the application and score points based on the applicant's statement of interest or information that shows active participation in the medical informatics field; ability or plan to contribute to medical informatics at institution; description of career development activity; and need for financial support. It is optional but applicants may submit up to three letters of support. Proof of Medical Informatics Caucus membership may also be submitted, if applicable.
