IMLS Calls for 2010 Native American Library Services Basic Grant Applications
Application Deadline: March 1, 2010
Washington, DC— The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is accepting applications for the 2010 Native American Library Services Basic Grants program. Federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native villages and corporations may apply for these grants in either the Basic or the Basic with Education/Assessment Option categories.
These noncompetitive grants are designed to support traditional core library services in tribal communities across the country. The supplemental Education/Assessment Option provides funds for continuing education opportunities for library staff and on-site library assessments. In 2009, IMLS awarded 31 Basic Grants and 177 Basic Grants with the Education/Assessment Option to American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages and corporations.
Please note that IMLS is publishing the Basic Grant guidelines separately from the competitive Enhancement Grant guidelines, which will be available in mid-January 2010. This will allow tribes that apply only for the Basic Grant to download application materials faster and access only what they need.
IMLS has scheduled an audio-conference call to give prospective applicants an opportunity to ask IMLS staff questions pertaining to Native American Library Services Basic Grant applications. This call will take place on January 11, 2010 at 4 pm ET. Please visit the website for more information closer to the call-in date.
Contact Alison Freese, Senior Program Officer, at 202/653-4665 or afreese@imls.gov with questions about this grant program.
