The UpToDate International Grant Subscription is a new program to provide one-year complimentary subscriptions to UpToDate®, a leading evidence-based and peer-reviewed clinical information resource, to clinicians and organizations providing medical care or related services to poor or underserved populations outside the United States of America.
Accepted by more than 360,000 clinicians in over 145 countries, UpToDate provides a broad range of evidence-based medical information resources, from topic reviews that include a synthesis of the literature to specific recommendations for patient care, as created by more than 4,000 editors, authors and peer reviewers from leading medical institutions.
Grants will be awarded in two rounds in February and May 2010 (applications due no later than January 25 and May 3, 2010).
If you are interested in applying, please follow the directions provided below. Please also note that membership and participation to at least one community on GHDonline.org is asked of all grantees, and since it's free to join, we invite you to sign up today!
