Current Actions: This Notice proposes the clearance of a Notice of
Funding Opportunity for a new IMLS grant program, the 21st Century
Museum Professionals Program. The purpose of the program will be to
develop and enhance a diverse workforce of museum professionals by
offering professional development opportunities, employing strategies
for training and recruiting future museum professionals and supporting
evaluation efforts to identify and share effective practices. There
will be an initial emphasis on spurring economic growth through
workforce development in the post-pandemic environment, particularly
for cultural institutions in rural and economically distressed
communities.
IMLS recognizes the important role of strong local and regional
networks as essential tools for providing peer-to-peer learning,
training, and mentoring opportunities. The program will thus encourage
applications from not only museums but also museum associations, museum
studies programs at Institutions of Higher Education, and museums that
serve as essential parts of the professional learning and training
environment.
