practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

clarity of the information to be
collected; and

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the Nation’s 123,000
libraries and 35,000 museums. The
Institute’s mission is to inspire libraries
and museums to advance innovation,
learning and civic engagement. We
provide leadership through research,
policy development, and grant making.
IMLS provides a variety of grant
programs to assist the Nation’s
museums and libraries in improving
their operations and enhancing their
services to the public. (20 U.S.C. 9101
et seq.).

II. Current Actions
To administer The Role of Libraries
and Museums in Community
Transformation (Community Catalyst)—
A National Leadership Grants Special
Initiative. National Leadership Grants
for Libraries (NLG-Libraries) and
National Leadership Grants for
Museums (NLG-Museums), under
which this special initiative falls,
support projects that address challenges
faced by the library and museum fields
and that have the potential to advance
practice in those fields. Successful
projects will generate results such as
new tools, research findings, models,
services, practices, or alliances that can
be widely used, adapted, scaled, or
replicated to extend the benefits of
federal investment. This special joint
NLG-Libraries and NLG-Museums
initiative invites proposals for
development and testing of approaches
to deepen and sustain the collaborative
work that libraries and museums engage
in with their communities. Funded
projects will create a foundation for
enhanced collective impact in
communities, especially working with
those from diverse economic, social,
and cultural backgrounds and will
involve key partners such as community
service organizations, government
entities, and/or funders.
This funding opportunity may
include grants and/or cooperative
agreements. We will seek proposals that
use approaches grounded in community
innovation labs; such processes help to
build understanding and develop
options when complex social problems
affect many stakeholders. They are
effective where no one entity is
accountable for solving the problem, no
one solution is sufficient for solving the
problem, and current solutions are
insufficient. Labs draw on diverse
perspectives about a problem to make
sense of an issue and focus on rapid
experimentation to surface and adapt
solutions to problems. By bringing
together stakeholders with a collective
blend of knowledge and experience
with various aspects of local place and
social wellbeing, these individuals and
organizations can co-create, and test
solutions together in ways that they
could not have done on their own.
Participants will seek to help their local
community collaborate across sectors,
question old assumptions, develop deep
understandings of local system
dynamics, explore solutions that
leverage existing community assets and
yield innovative responses, and rehearse
potential strategies for change that
include drawing upon museums and
libraries.

This process will help to advance our
understanding of what is currently
occurring in a community and where
there are different leverage points to
effect change. The desired goal is to
help catalyze civic revitalization with

libraries.
