The National Leadership Grant program is IMLS' most
innovative competitive grant program.

Applicants should develop proposals that encourage
creativity in providing public service, meet community
needs, and use technology innovatively. Projects that
can be replicated nationally, provide broader public
access to collections, and that extend the impact of
federal funds through collaborations are also
encouraged.

been established for each of the National Leadership
Grant categories summarized below. Among the new
priorities are:

Education of lifelong learners in the 21st century;

Training in outcome-based evaluation;

collections;
