Current Actions: The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries
Program supports projects that enhance the quality of library and
archive services nationwide by advancing theory and practice and by
generating results such as new tools, research findings, models,
services, practices, or collaborative approaches that can be widely
used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend the benefits of federal
investment.
The IMLS Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program supports
developing a diverse workforce of librarians to better meet the
changing learning and information needs of the American public by
enhancing the training and professional development of library and
archives professionals; developing faculty and library leaders; and
recruiting, educating, and retaining the next generation of library and
archives professionals.
This action is to renew the content, forms, and instructions for
the two Notices of Funding Opportunity for the next three years (FY25-
FY27).
OMB is particularly interested in comments that help the agency to:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses).
