Grant Request (MLA)
http://library.umsmed.edu/tss/ResearchCom.html

The MLA Technical Services Section (TSS) is committed to supporting the research needs of its members. Our approach is
to subsidize the continuing education costs of members who wish to pursue research in health sciences librarianship, but may
lack to means to do so. TSS will provide one annual grant to a TSS member who has taken (or proposes to take) a continuing education class directed at developing research skills. This grant will cover the actual cost of the course--up to the cost of the
most expensive, single-day MLA CE course. All incidental expenses, including transportation, room and board are the
responsibility of the successful applicant.
