Purpose
The purpose of Region 6 State Advisory Groups (SAG) is to provide leadership guidance for each state’s outreach and engagement activities conducted by Region 6 staff and Partner Outreach Program (POP) members. The SAG charge is two-fold:
- To guide the development and implementation of an action plan for each state in Region 6 that addresses how NNLM can support specific health disparities identified as priorities for that state, with a focus on medically underserved populations.
- To develop strategic recommendations, programs, and relationships that advance the health of communities through equal access to biomedical and health information resources and data.
Specifically, members of the Advisory Group will provide three core services:
- Identify Opportunities
- Provide input on communities that would most benefit from NNLM and NLM products and services
- Recommend organizations to join NNLM
- Offer ideas and input on potential partnerships with organizations in the state
- Advise on potential conferences, health fairs, or other public events that would benefit from an NNLM Region 6 presence
- Provide Feedback
- Review and offer guidance on effective messaging and outreach from R6
- Develop recommendations for ongoing communications across the state from R6
- Consult with R6 on the development and implementation of any state-wide assessments
- Align Activities
- Decide on select priority health topics for the state that align with NNLM initiatives and priorities
- Develop state action plan to guide Region 6 training, funding, and engagement activities
