Abstract:
In this clearance submission (3137-0091) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the FY024 Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program and National Leadership Grants for Libraries, both discretionary grant programs that support the Nation’s libraries. The changes consist of: • Updating the application due dates, dates of notification of award decisions, and beginning dates of periods of performance • Updating the numbers of anticipated awards and average amounts of funding to reflect the actuals of FY2023 (Section B) • Making minor copyedits and formatting enhancements to clarify eligibility criteria to include archives (Section C1), adding 2 C.F.R. part 200 citations to guidance relating to unallowable costs (Section D7a), adding guidance relating to Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreements (Appendix Three), and updating instructions for completing the revised IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form (Appendix Three, Appendix Seven). IMLS is requesting the approval of the Notice of Funding Opportunities instructions for these grant programs. The National Leadership Grants for Libraries (NLG-L) support projects that address significant challenges and opportunities facing the library and archives fields and that have the potential to advance theory and practice. Successful proposals generate results such as new tools, research findings, models, services, practices, or alliances that will be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend the benefits of federal investment. The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program (LB21) 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 librarians, developing faculty and library leaders, and recruiting and educating the next generation of librarians. This action is to renew the forms and instructions for the Notice of Funding Opportunities for the next three years.
