MAP Grant Applications Due December 1

Monday, December 1 is the only deadline for grant applications for the
Museum Assessment Program. Applications should be postmarked by December 1
and submitted to MAP staff at the American Association of Museums.  Grants
are awarded to eligible museums by the Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) on a first-come, first-served basis.  In commemoration of
the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803-1806, IMLS
encourages eligible museums in the trail states (Idaho, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and
West Virginia) to apply.  Museums in these states will receive preference
for MAP grant funding for the December 1, 2003 deadline.

For questions concerning eligibility, contact Jeannette Thomas, IMLS Program
Officer, at 202/606-8548.  For questions concerning readiness issues or for
