Current Actions: This Notice proposes
the emergency/expedited clearance to
administer surveys to Communities for
Immunity Program project leaders and
participants in funded activities and to
conduct interviews with a subset of
project leaders and participants.
Communities for Immunity is a shortterm, one-time program that supports
the communication and community
engagement efforts of museums,
libraries, and their community partners
to improve confidence in COVID–19
vaccines and ultimately, improve
COVID–19 vaccination rates, to address
this urgent national public health crisis.
The program evaluation will investigate
whether and the degree to which project
activities influenced participants’
understanding, beliefs, attitudes, or
behavior regarding COVID–19 vaccines,
with the aim of identifying
communication and engagement
strategies that can be replicated in other
communities. The proposed data
collection will complement findings
from document review and analysis of
program administrative data to generate
insights into which strategies work well
for whom in what contexts. IMLS will
share findings as broadly as possible—
including among agency partners,
professional association audiences, and
with the public—to enable others to
implement influential local engagement.
Agency: Institute of Museum and
Library Services.
