The purpose of the Medical Library Association Continuing Education Grant is to provide members with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of the theoretical, administrative, or technical aspects of librarianship. The grant may be used for MLA opportunities offered through MEDLIB-ED or other CE activities. Applicants must hold a graduate degree in library science. They must be a practicing health sciences librarian with at least two years of professional experience. Applicants must also be a member of MLA. In exceptional cases, consideration will be given to an outstanding candidate not meeting the eligibility criteria outlined above. The grant jury will assess the application and score points based on the statement of career objectives, relevance of course to objectives, funding justification, and clarity of application. The proposed course of study should be relevant to the library work in which the applicant is currently engaged. Scope, level of study, duration, and budget should be given. Consideration is given for library experience and professional activities of the applicant. The CE activity must be within the United States or Canada. Applicants must submit the names of three references, who must not be related to the applicant and are knowledgeable of the applicant's character, education, and abilities. Grants will not be given to support work toward a degree or certificate, although course work that complements a candidate's program, yet is not part of the normal professional curriculum, will be considered.
