All proposals submitted for IMLS competitive awards are reviewed by

share promising practices, and are well versed in the issues and
concerns of libraries and museums today. Peer reviewers dedicate their
time and expertise to advance the highest professional practices in the
field. The IMLS review process is well respected, and the success of
our grant programs is largely due to the expertise of our reviewers.
These peer reviewer forms, accessed through the IMLS website, allow
library and museum professionals to indicate their interest and provide
information on their professional expertise to be considered for
selection as an IMLS peer reviewer.
