Application Forms
Organizations that are applying under the May 15, 2009, deadline
for the Native Hawaiian Library Services Grants program must submit
their applications through Grants.gov, the federal government’s
online application system. The Grants.gov system will accept
applications through 11:59 P.M. eastern time on May 15, 2009.
While the deadline is May 15, 2009,
IMLS recommends strongly that applicants REGISTER EARLY and
COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THEIR APPLICATION EARLY. All

process generally cannot be completed in a single day. Applicants
who are not already registered should allow at least two weeks
to complete this one-time process. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE WEEK

- The first will confirm receipt of the application by the

been successfully validated by the system prior to transmission
to the grantor agency OR has been rejected due to errors.
Only applications validated by the Grants.gov
