Background The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the Nation’s libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America’s museums, libraries, and related organizations through grant making, research, and policy development. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov. II. Current Actions The Research for Grants for American Latino History and Culture Program (ALHC Program) is intended to inform IMLS as it designs and implements a new grantmaking program to build the capacity of American Latino museums and education organizations nationwide. The ALHC Program was authorized for creation by NMALA in 2020 (H.R. 2420)—the same Act that authorized creation of a new Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino. This proposed research will be the first for the ALHC Program to help ensure its relevance to the field and accessibility to potential grantees as well as the measurement of project outcomes. Coupled with a secondary data collection effort (which will include reviewing administrative records, museum/nonprofit grantee databases, and a literature review), this study will include three specific primary data collection activities: community listening sessions, semistructured interviews, potential applicants, and a survey of potential ALHC Program grantees.

OMB Control No.: 3145–New. Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Abstract: The NSF Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Phase I and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) Phase I Project Pitch is the new NSF SBIR/STTR presubmission process that conveys information needed to direct the proposed SBIR/STTR project to the appropriate NSF Program Director (PD) for review and possible proposal submission invitation. This Project Pitch is to be submitted by the applying small business (as ‘‘proposer’’) to the relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I technology topic. The Project Pitch outlines solicitation-specific aspects of the project (such as the proposed technology innovation and project objectives with associated level of technical risk). In the past, this Project Pitch (previously referred to as the Executive Summary) was an optional submission via email as an attached two to three-page (maximum) document and was often in varying formats or missing some parts of the required document elements, which in turn caused delays or additional corrections on behalf of the proposer. The NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Project Pitch form captures the same requested information, as outlined in the NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Program solicitation, but all within one secure, web-based form. In specific, the form collects submitting proposer company and team information; the proposed technology innovation; the technical objectives and challenges; and the market opportunity. The form also allows the proposer to choose (from a drop-down menu) the most relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I technical topic area, ensuring that the submitted Project Pitch goes to the most appropriate Program Director. Respondents: Small businesses who submit proposals to NSF’s SBIR/STTR Phase I Program. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2,000. Burden on the Public: 2 hours (per response) for an annual total of 4,000 hours.
