The Ysabel Bertolucci MLA Annual Conference Grant recognizes Ysabel Bertolucci’s exemplary career as a member of the Medical Library Association (MLA) and her many contributions to its sections, chapters, and board. Endowed in 2014, the Bertolucci Grant recognizes a health sciences librarian who is involved in nursing, allied health, consumer health or international librarianship.
The Bertolucci grant provides one award of up to $1,000 toward travel expenses associated with in-person attendance at the annual MLA Conference. Applicants must be current members of MLA, in addition to being currently employed as a health information professional. Preference will be given to applicants with two to five years of professional experience, first-time conference attendees, and/or those who are presenting a paper, poster, or lightning talk at the conference.
The application period opens Wednesday, December 6. Further information and application guidelines can be found here. One application serves for both the EBSCO and Bertolucci Annual Conference Travel Grants, so there’s no need to apply twice. The deadline is Wednesday, January 31.
