Within MLA’s broader grants, scholarships, and fellowships offerings, this opportunity focuses specifically on hospital libraries and clinical librarianship. It supports both education and research as avenues for professional development, rather than limiting support to one type of activity. MLA considers awards annually and makes awards only when applicants clearly meet or exceed the requirements.
