Grant Description: The Commission (NHPRC) promotes the preservation and use of America's documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture. The Commission seeks proposals from organizations to design and implement an Archives Leadership Institute. The NHPRC envisions a one- to two-week program that will tailor contemporary best practices in leadership skills to issues specific to archives. The grantee will be responsible for all phases, from curriculum design and development through administering the program for archives professionals. The Archival Leadership Institute seeks to bring to tomorrow's leaders the insights and understanding necessary for increasing public use and appreciation of archives. Topics for the curricula might include issues in technology, economics, public policy, and constituent relations, along with practical questions of administration, strategic planning, and fund raising. In addition, there should be opportunities for participants to develop solutions to the specific needs of their institutions. To cover these topics and needs, Institute faculty should include experts and educators in public administration, business, and organizational development as well as experienced archival leaders. There are models of such institutes in other fields that will be useful for applicants as they develop their proposals. Applicants should look for comparable examples in the materials, such as the: Getty Museum Leadership Institute Seminar in Historical Administration Frye Leadership Institute for Higher Education Information Professionals
