2010 National Leadership Grant Guidelines
Now Available
Deadline for applications: February 1, 2010
Washington, DC—The Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS) is accepting grant applications for the agency’s 2010 National
Leadership Grant (NLG) program. Applications, guidelines, and examples of successful
proposals can be found on the
agency’s Web site.
The deadline for submitting applications is February 1, 2010.
For the past 12 years, the National Leadership Grants program has
been the capstone program for IMLS, providing the agency’s highest level of support
for innovative projects that provide important research, tools, and models for library
and museum programs across the country. Museums and libraries interested in submitting
NLG proposals to IMLS can apply for one of two types of grants: Projects or Collaborative
Planning Grants. Each of these types applies to the four funding categories:
Advancing Digital Resources, Library-Museum Collaboration, Research, and Demonstration.
The Institute has scheduled three conference calls to give prospective
applicants an opportunity to ask IMLS staff questions pertaining to National
Leadership Grants. The calls will be held on the following dates and times:
Wednesday, November 18 at 1 pm ET
Tuesday, December 8 at 2 pm ET
Thursday, January 7 at 2 pm ET
Please check
the National
Leadership Grants page closer to the date of the call for specific dial-in
instructions.
Applicants are also encouraged to contact program officers
with their questions.
