The NLG program invests in projects that address challenges faced by the
library and archive fields and generate results such as new tools, research
findings, or models that can be widely used. The LB21 program supports
human capital capacity projects for libraries and archives. This call for
preliminary proposals has a deadline of September 1, 2017, for both
programs. A separate funding opportunity for both programs will be
announced in December with a deadline in February 2018.
>From the preliminary proposals received in September, IMLS will select
applicants and invite them to submit full proposals in January of 2018.
Applicants who are not invited to continue from the first round of funding
may submit new preliminary proposals in February.
Both funding opportunities support projects in three areas:
1. Community Anchors: NLG projects that advance the role of libraries as
community anchors that provide civic and cultural engagement, facilitate
lifelong learning, promote digital inclusion, and support economic vitality
through programming and services. LB21 projects that improve the ability of
library professionals to create meaningful community partnerships and
provide programs and services that encourage civic and cultural engagement;
foster community dialog; facilitate lifelong learning; promote digital
inclusion; and/or support economic vitality.
2. National Digital Platform: NLG projects that create, develop, and expand
the social and technical infrastructure and the open source software
applications used by libraries and archives to provide digital content and
services to all users in the United States. LB21 projects that increase
library professionals' capacity to create, develop, and use the social and
technical infrastructure and the open source software applications used by
libraries and archives to provide digital content and services to all users
in the United States. NDP projects bridge gaps between disparate pieces of
the existing digital infrastructure for increased efficiencies, cost
savings, access, and services.
3. Curating Collections: NLG projects that can have a significant national
impact on shared services for the preservation and management of digital
library collections and content across the country. LB21 projects that
increase librarians' and library professionals' capacity to create,
preserve, manage, and provide access to digital library collections across
the country.
Applicants to the LB21 program are required to align their projects with a
project category, i.e., National Digital Platform, Community Anchors, or
Curating Collections. Projects must also align with a project type, i.e.,
Pre-Professional; Masters-level and Doctoral-level Programs; Early Career
Development; or Continuing Education.
See the grant program guidelines for more information about LB21
