Download as PDF khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 232 / Monday, December 3, 2018 / Notices CCI, a grant program for museums, libraries, and their community partners interested in enhancing the benefits of their collaborative, community-based efforts (i.e., asset-focused, communitydriven collaboration) through (1) intensive training to build museums and libraries capacity for asset-based community engagement, (2) consulting to support implementation of the project grants in local communities, and (3) creating peer opportunities for the museum and library grantees, along with their core partners, to learn from each other and share innovative ideas and promising practices. One- to twoyear grants were awarded to 12 organizations in each of two consecutive cohorts, the first in the fall of 2017 and the second in the fall of 2018. Grantee organizations are either museums, libraries, or other institutions that proposed to collaborate closely with museums and libraries. This proposed evaluation supports the Agency’s FY 2018–2022 Strategic Plan, which frames how the Agency plans to meet the essential information, education, research, economic, cultural, and civic needs of the American public. Under the Strategic Plan, IMLS’s objectives include ‘‘adapt to the changing needs of the museum and library fields by incorporating proven approaches as well as new ideas into IMLS programs and services’’ (4.2), ‘‘encourage library and museum professionals and institutions to share and adopt best practices and innovations’’ (2.2), and ‘‘identify trends in the museum and library fields to help organizations make informed decisions’’ (2.3). This proposed study will be the first evaluation of the entire CCI initiative. It is a summative assessment of CCI implementation and initial outcomes across the two cohorts of grantees and their 24 diverse projects. This assessment builds on the 24 grantees’ evaluations of their own individual projects. It uses a set of common indicators to assess implementation and interim outcomes among museums, libraries, local networks, and communities across all grantee projects.
