Funding Opportunity Description The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is the world’s largest biomedical library and one of twenty-seven institutes and centers that form the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Each day, more than four million people use NLM resources such as PubMed, ClinicalTrials. gov, and MedlinePlus.

In addition to disseminating the world’s biomedical research and providing trusted health information, NLM has a strong commitment to engaging with its diverse audiences. One of NLM’s innovative approaches to meeting the needs of its scholarly, clinical, and community stakeholders is the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM).

The NNLM consists of seven Regional Medical Libraries (RMLs) and approximately 8,000 member organizations located throughout the US. The NNLM is supported by four Offices—Web Services, Training, Data Science, and Public Health Coordination— and several specialized Centers.

Within their focus areas, the NNLM Offices and Centers serve critical roles, including: coordinators of national programs; communication; consensus-builders for NNLM-wide standards; and monitors of contents and outputs for quality and accuracy. The NLM Office of Engagement and Training partners with the NNLM to coordinate and serve as a liaison with NLM and other NIH Institutes.

See the NNLM website and the NNLM Workbook for more information about the structure and functions of the NNLM. The All of Us Research Program is part of an effort to advance individualized health care by enrolling one million or more participants to contribute their health data over many years.

The program aims to reflect the diversity of the United States and to include participants from groups that have been underrepresented in health research in the past. The program is developing custom tools and software to help researchers analyze participant data while keeping information secure. Working together, All of Us researchers, partners, and participants aim to build a better future for health care.

The All of Us Research Program is guided by a set of core values : Participation is open to all. Participants reflect the rich diversity of the U.S. Participants are partners. Transparency earns trust.

Participants have access to their information. Data are broadly accessible for research purposes. Security and privacy are of highest important.

The program will be catalyst for positive change in research. Diversity and inclusion are core values of the All of Us Research Program. To meet the diverse needs of the U.S., All of Us is a multi-lingual program that offers engagements and information in languages other than English, at literacy levels that are understandable, and using inclusive and accessible design to meet the needs of all users.

All of Us has program partners , including an Engagement Ecosystem, to reach participants across the U.S., in the communities they live. To ensure all of the U.S. is represented in biomedical and health research, All of Us seeks participation by populations Underrepresented in Biomedical Research (UBR).

Participation by UBR populations can provide researchers with information about them that can reduce health disparities and improve health equity by broadening access. UBR populations are defined by: Race and Ethnicity; Age; Sex assignment at birth; Sexual and Gender Minorities; Income relative to the Federal poverty level; Educational attainment; Geography; Access to care; and Physical or mental disability.

By studying data from a diverse group of people, researchers can learn more about what makes people sick or keeps them healthy. What researchers learn could lead to better treatment and disease prevention for All of Us . In September 2017, the NLM initiated a pilot partnership with the NIH All of Us Research Program for the program’s community engagement and training platform through the NNLM.

The pilot created the NNLM All of Us National Program consisting of two Centers: the Training and Education Center and the Community Engagement Center. Based on the results and impact of NNLM pilot activities, the partnership continues. More information on the background, history, and accomplishments of the NNLM All of Us National Program is available on the NNLM Workbook .

The NAPC represents the next phase of that partnership. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites cooperative agreement (U24) applications for the NNLM All of Us Program Center (NAPC). NAPC will combine two main functions of training and education, and community engagement into one integrated, organizational structure.

These two functional areas will collaborate and coordinate resources to design, deliver, report, and evaluate innovative, responsive, and effective programs and services. Robust community engagement and training structures are needed to build and maintain partnerships, administer subawards, provide technical assistance to subawardees, and serve as leaders in the All of Us Engagement Ecosystem consortia.

Both functional areas will provide engagement programs and activities that (1) contribute to an individual’s or community’s awareness about All of Us and (2) increase ability to participate in research.

To support the All of Us mission and core value of diversity, the NAPC must engage effectively with populations that are underrepresented in biomedical research (UBR), working through libraries and community-based organizations across the U.S. In addition to partnering with All of Us consortia members , working with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and community-based health programs to accomplish program goals is strongly recommended.

All programs and projects must meet the needs of the partners and communities, as well as focus on the needs of UBR communities.

NAPC Community Engagement The NLM seeks a dynamic program that delivers national and regional results by responding to the evolving All of Us and All of Us consortia partners’ user needs, the latest research on health information implementation and engagement, and effective partnership development and maintenance.

The NAPC Community Engagement will focus on partnerships, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and community-driven needs, using community-based participatory research approaches and other evidence-based methods.

Each Community Engagement project, program, event, or activity must focus on All of Us in one or more of the following areas: Diversity in biomedical research Responsibilities of the Community Engagement functional area include: Engaging with libraries and other NNLM members, increasing capacity to engage with UBR populations. Being active in all 50 states with innovative and community-based participatory library programming.

Delivering robust health literacy programs and activities that focuses on All of Us -related health information across the lifespan, meeting a variety of health literacy levels and in the needed languages and formats. Including topics such as data and numeracy literacy, using and evaluating digital health information, and understanding clinical research.

Utilizing subject matter expert(s) (SME) to implement the latest research and techniques in health literacy and consumer health practice for public library and community organization training. Developing and disseminating the "science of engagement" that demonstrates best practices and lessons learned in community-based and community-driven health information access by UBR populations.

Activating libraries to offer health information programming on health literacy, digital literacy, research literacy (including citizen science), precision medicine, and diversity in biomedical research, grounded on cultural humility, in order to raise awareness and support retention of All of Us .

Coordinating partnerships between public libraries and other members of the All of Us Engagement Ecosystem (i.e., other All of Us partners, health science and medical libraries, and other NNLM members in specific All of Us target markets).

Leveraging public libraries as community conveners where the public can find help locating information, meeting spaces, and access to technology in support of All of Us community engagement activities.

Ensuring that funded projects and programs are aware, demonstrate, and provide culturally and linguistically humble and appropriate engagement, and utilize health literacy standards in preparing and delivering health information materials. Ensuring all programs/projects are community- or partner-requested, community-focused, co-developed and community-verified, and/or provide evaluation that is usable by the community.

NAPC Training and Education The NAPC will continue to offer a robust, responsive, and innovative training and education program for the All of Us consortia, libraries, and other community-based partners using a wide range of formal and informal learning approaches and methods.

As the repository for All of Us educational content, the NAPC provides All of Us with a Training and Education Platform (TEP) which currently has over 1,200+ users, with 3,500+ course completions, and 11 courses.

This functional area leverages existing infrastructure provided by NNLM Offices and Centers for the TEP and other programs and services: (1) the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) maintained by the NNLM Web Services Office (NWSO); (2) instructional design and support resources of the NNLM Training Office (NTO); and (3) evidence, evaluation, and analysis support from the NNLM Evaluation Center (NEC).

A critical component of the training and education functional area is work in cooperation with the All of Us Consortium Training (ACT) Board to develop, maintain, and host national training for the Program. The ACT Board is a governance board which implements the Program's policy governing oversight of internal All of Us Consortium Training Resources.

The ACT Board is responsible for assessing the training needs of AoU Consortium members and to ensure that appropriate training content is developed, deployed, and maintained to meet those needs. Annually, the ACT Board develops a project plan, as the result of All of Us priorities, needs assessments, and requests received.

Quarterly, the Board prioritizes the training requests so that the NAPC can develop and deploy the most responsive training content to Consortium needs. The NAPC will use a systematic process for program development (including pilot-testing) and implementation for the development, distribution, and evaluation of training.

NAPC will provide leadership and management in the development of programs, activities, and other materials that must meet the needs of the partners and communities, as well as focus on the needs of UBR communities. Training and education functional responsibilities include: Developing, launching, and/or maintaining training courses for a wide variety of audiences, in cooperation with the All of Us Consortium Training (ACT) Board.

Maintaining and enhancing the Training and Education Platform (TEP). Providing support for establishing learning objectives, audience-appropriate educational content, and multimodal delivery. Providing live-streaming capability for events, where requested.

Supporting the trans-literation, trans-creation and translation of materials in languages other than English, including American Sign Language, and provide inclusive design and accessibility for those using assistive technologies. Ensuring that training content and activities use culturally and linguistically-appropriate approaches and health literacy standards in development and delivery.

Integrating the needs of community partners into all steps of educational content and program design, including leveraging NAPC Community Engagement to facilitate conversations and engagement with community partners throughout the process.
