Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: All applications are required to reflect multiple partnerships, including representatives of libraries, museums, archives, statewide service organizations and state agencies. Any U.S. nonprofit library or museum is eligible (please see IMLS eligibility criteria at www.imls.gov/applicants/criteria.shtm a full definition of these kinds of institutions). In addition, a library or museum consortium or association is eligible to apply. Any single organization need not have statewide stewardship; this statewide perspective can be achieved through partnerships. More than one application may be submitted from an individual state, commonwealth, or territory, but only one application per state will be funded. Individuals are not eligible to apply.
Grant Description: The agency invites proposals for statewide projects that build on the collaborations and partnerships developed through one of the previously funded Connecting to Collections Statewide Planning grants. Applicants should show how the planning process evolved and developed, and how the proposed project will address findings of that planning process. Emphasis is placed on the collaborative nature of the projects across the museum, library, and archive fields.Projects should describe both short-term and long-term impacts of the project activities for collections stewardship across the state. Assessment of the results will be an integral part of the project, and awardees will be expected to measure and report widely on outputs, outcomes, findings, and products. Awards will be made to projects that can serve as models for other states that have begun their own planning process.Note: For purposes of these guidelines, "state" and "statewide" refers, respectively, to each of the 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau.
