Justification for Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries (APP)

The attached draft also contains a few minor language clarifications to reduce applicant confusion in several sections of the form; removes a few errors introduced during the agency standardization of NOFOs; and responds to requests from both internal staff as well as the applicant community, to better align the Native American Basic grant program language with other library grant programs. The form contains fewer questions and may result in a burden decrease6 It also contains new instructions for the form to be submitted electronically through the new IMLS grants management system, eGMS REACH.
