Program Overview
Museum professionals need high levels of knowledge and
expertise as they help create public value for the communities
they serve. The purpose of the 21st Century Museum Professionals
program is to increase the capacity of museums by improving
the knowledge and skills of museum professionals in
multiple institutions. 21st Century Museum Professionals
grants are intended to reach broad groups of museum
professionals throughout a city, county, state, region,
or the nation.
Grants fund a wide range of activities, including the development and
implementation of classes, seminars, and workshops; resources to support leadership
development; collection, assessment, development, and/or dissemination of information that
leads to better museum operations; activities that strengthen the use of contemporary
technology tools to deliver programs and services; support for the enhancement of
pre-professional training programs; and organizational support for the development of
internship and fellowship programs. IMLS also welcomes proposals that promote the skills
necessary to develop 21st century communities, citizens, and workers.
Eligibility
Museums that fulfill the eligibility
criteria for museums may apply. Public or private
not-forprofit agencies, organizations or associations
that engage in activities designed to advance museums
and the museum profession may also apply. In addition,
institutions of higher education, including public and
nonprofit universities are eligible.
