I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source
of federal support for the Nation's libraries and museums. We advance,
support, and empower America's museums, libraries, and related
organizations through grant making, research, and policy development.

II. Current Actions
The Research for Grants for American Latino History and Culture
Program (ALHC Program) is intended to inform IMLS as it designs and
implements a new grantmaking program to build the capacity of American
Latino museums and education organizations nationwide. The ALHC Program
was authorized for creation by NMALA in 2020 (H.R. 2420)--the same Act
that authorized creation of a new Smithsonian National Museum of the
American Latino. This proposed research will be the first for the ALHC
Program to help ensure its relevance to the field and accessibility to
potential grantees as well as the measurement of project outcomes.
Coupled with a secondary data collection effort (which will include
reviewing administrative records, museum/nonprofit grantee databases,
and a literature review), this study will include three specific
primary data collection activities: community listening sessions, semi-
structured interviews, potential applicants, and a survey of potential
ALHC Program grantees.
Agency: Institute of Museum and Library Services.
