Academic Medical Collection Grants
Our Academic Medical Collection Grants support the training of new medical and healthcare professionals by providing access to relevant and up-to-date textbooks and reference materials.
Academic Libraries serving healthcare or medical students can apply for $500 to $3,000 to purchase physical or electronic textbooks, database subscriptions, and other reference materials for student use. CLRC will consider requests for additional resource types on a case-by-case basis. Academic Medical Collection Grants are funded through the Medical Information Services Program (MISP), a New York State Library program which provides clinical medical and consumer health information services for libraries and library systems via the nine ESLN councils. Consequently, all materials requested through this grant must be primarily medical in nature and content.
Eligibility/Rules & Requirements:
Open to member academic institutions (see our Member Directory) that offer healthcare or medical degrees. Institutions are only eligible to receive one Academic Medical Collection Grant in a 12-month period.
Grant recipients will receive a check for the amount awarded. Receipts for purchased materials will need to be submitted after purchase.
Deadline:
Applications are due by September 15, 2026. Grant recipients will be notified of their grant status in October 2026. There is a possibility for an additional round of funding in spring 2027.
