Application Period Open for IMLS Grants
By Donna DiMichele | July 26, 2019
Application Period Open for National Leadership and Laura Bush and 21st Century Librarian Grant Programs
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is now accepting FY 2020 proposals for National Leadership Grants for Libraries (NLG-L) and Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program (LB21). Applicants have through September 27, 2019 to submit their two-page preliminary proposals.
National Leadership Grants for Libraries support projects that enhance the quality of library and archives services nationwide by advancing theory and practice. Successful proposals will generate results such as new tools, research findings, models, services, practices, or alliances that will be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend the benefits of federal investment. This work may be achieved through proposals at various stages of maturity (exploring, piloting, enhancing, or scaling).
The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program invests in developing a diverse workforce of librarians to better meet the changing learning and information needs of the American public by enhancing the training and professional development of library and archives professionals, developing faculty and library leaders, and recruiting, educating, and retaining the next generation of library and archives professionals.
Applicants should review the notices of funding opportunity carefully and reach out to IMLS staff members listed on the NLG-L and LB21 webpages with any questions.
Pre-Application Webinar
A pre-application webinar will be held with program staff to answer questions from potential applicants. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, 2019 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. ET
