Current Actions: This Notice proposes the emergency/expedited
clearance to administer surveys to Communities for Immunity Program
project leaders and participants in funded activities and to conduct
interviews with a subset of project leaders and participants.
Communities for Immunity is a short-term, one-time program that
supports the communication and community engagement efforts of museums,
libraries, and their community partners to improve confidence in COVID-
19 vaccines and ultimately, improve COVID-19 vaccination rates, to
address this urgent national public health crisis. The program
evaluation will investigate whether and the degree to which project
activities influenced participants' understanding, beliefs, attitudes,
or behavior regarding COVID-19 vaccines, with the aim of identifying
communication and engagement strategies that can be replicated in other
communities. The proposed data collection will complement findings from
document review and analysis of program administrative data to generate
insights into which strategies work well for whom in what contexts.
IMLS will share findings as broadly as possible--including among agency
partners, professional association audiences, and with the public--to
enable others to implement influential local engagement.
