Justification for Change

3137-0111 Inspire! Grants for Small Museums – Notice of Funding Opportunity


IMLS is requesting a change to a previously approved clearance in order to make non-substantive changes for the grant program Inspire! Grants for Small Museums – a Museums for America Special Initiative. The forms associated with this Notice of Funding Opportunity have already been approved for the FY20 cycle. Inspire! Grants for Small Museums is requesting the same expiration date of 8/31/21.


Request abstract:


The information collections in this package include the guidelines and instructions to apply for IMLS support in the following grant program: Inspire! Grants for Small Museums in FY20.



Justification for Inspire!


Museums for America grants support projects that strengthen the ability of an individual museum to serve its public. Inspire! Grants for Small Museums is a Special Initiative of this program.


IMLS has continued to bring its Notice of Funding Opportunity templates into close conformity with the standards set forth in the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 C.F.R. part 200, in particular Appendix I – Full Text of Funding Opportunity). The attached draft reflects those efforts.


The attached draft also contains a few minor language clarifications to reduce applicant confusion in several sections of the NOFO; 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 Museums Empowered grant program language with other museum grant programs.


The respondent burden should remain the same.
