The RTI provides an amazing opportunity to meet like-minded research colleagues, gain research confidence, form research collaborations, and help end-users improve health and wellness! Use your research to advocate your value and impact!
Librarians, no matter the size or type of setting, or level of professional experience, who provide health information services, collections, and support, and want to contribute to improving library and health care outcomes, are encouraged to apply to the RTI fellowship program.
The RTI is a one-year online program that consists of a series of online modules in advanced research methods, mentoring by faculty experts and peer coaches, preparing and implementing a research project, and an opportunity to present the research project at the MLA ’25 Conference & Exhibits. RTI ‘24 features an expanded research curriculum and an opportunity to earn a fellowship certificate. Learn more about RTI fellowship program details.
