NLM Associate Fellowship Program

The NLM Associate Fellowship Program is a one-year residency for early and second-career librarians interested in advancing equitable and innovative futures for biomedical libraries. It combines curriculum and project work and is a virtual fellowship hosted by the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. Typically three to six fellows are selected each year. The program includes professional development components such as a practicum at a health sciences library.

Annual stipend; health insurance supplement; support for national conference attendance; one-week practicum at a health sciences library.

Applicants must have a Master's degree in an ALA-accredited library/information science program earned by August of the year of appointment or within two years, and must be Canadian or American citizens. The program is for early and second-career librarians within five years of graduation.
