Description
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice in these professions to strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, new tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment.
The application process for the NLG-L program consists of two phases. For Phase...
I, all applicants must submit preliminary proposals by the deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity. For Phase II, selected applicants will be invited to submit full proposals.
