National Library of Medicine Announces Application of Advanced Network 
Infrastructure in Health and Disaster Management Solicitation

March 08, 2002--The National Library of Medicine seeks to demonstrate 
the application of scalable, network aware, wireless, GIS and 
identification technologies to a networked health related environment.

Project proposals will focus on situations that will require or greatly 
benefit from the application of these technologies in health care, 
medical decision-making, public health, large-scale health emergencies, 
health education, and biomedical, clinical and health services research.

Projects must involve the use of testbed networks linking hospitals, 
clinics, the health practitioners' offices, patients' homes, health 
professional schools, medical libraries, universities, medical research 
centers and laboratories, and/or public health authorities to 
demonstrate revolutionary applications in healthcare, health education 
and medical research.

Projects may range from being small in scope requiring small amounts of 
funding to very broad in scope requiring larger amounts of funding. BAA 
RFP NLM 02-103/VMS will be available in electronic format only on or 
about March 25, 2002.
