IMLS Extends Conservation Project Support Program Deadline
to October 12, 2007

Washington, DC—The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced today that the deadline for applications for Conservation Project Support grants has been extended to October 12, 2007. Because some interested applicants reported problems with the Grants.gov online application process, which was required for the first time this year, IMLS is extending the deadline and accepting applications by e-mail. This decision was made in keeping with the Institute’s commitment to providing opportunities for grant support to all museums.

During this period, applicants will not be able to apply through Grants.gov. Applications should be submitted via email to Conservation08@imls.gov. Only electronically submitted applications will be accepted, and all application components must be in PDF format. Applicants should use their museum's name as the subject line of their submission e-mail. Detailed instructions can be found here.

Those needing assistance should contact Christine Henry at 202-653-4674 or chenry@imls.gov; or Robert Trio at 202-653-4689 or rtrio@imls.gov. Please note that Monday, October 8 is a federal holiday, and IMLS offices will be closed.
