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 an application, visit the AAM website at www.aam-us.org/map.cfm, call 202/289-9118, or e-mail [log in to unmask]
