National Leadership Grants (Libraries)

National Leadership Grants support projects that have the potential to elevate museum and library practice. The Institute seeks to advance the ability of museums and libraries to preserve culture, heritage and knowledge while enhancing learning. IMLS welcomes proposals that promote the skills necessary to develop 21st century communities, citizens, and workers. Successful proposals will have national impact and generate results—new tools, research, models, services, practices, or alliances—that can be widely adapted or replicated to extend the benefit of federal investment.

Amount: $50,000 - $1m (3 years)

Date due: February 1, 2010

Competitive applications describe projects that will produce programs, collections, research findings, and/or tools that will have strategic impact, demonstrate innovation, produce models for collaboration, and actively disseminate project results.  Four categories are represented: advancing digital resources, research, demonstration, and library-museum collaboration.
