National Leadership Grants support the innovative thinking necessary to help libraries and museums meet the changing needs of the American public. This year’s guidelines encourage projects that create partnerships between libraries and museums, integrate new technologies, and highlight the agency’s focus on conservation and preservation. The five funding categories include Advancing Digital Resources, Library and Museum Collaboration, Collaboration Planning Grants, Research Projects and Demonstration Projects. In addition, collaborative planning grants of $40,000 are available for projects involving more than one institution.
