Justification for Change

FY2022-2024 Museums Empowered Notice of Funding Opportunity (3137-0107)


IMLS is requesting approval for non-substantive changes in the FY2022-2024 Museums Empowered NOFO to update key calendar dates and to clarify and simplify instructions. The current OMB approval expiration date is 7/31/2024.


Request abstract:

In this clearance submission (3137-0107) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the FY2022-2024 Museums Empowered, a discretionary grant program that supports the Nation’s museums. The changes consist of:

  • Updating the application due date, date of notification of award decisions, and beginning date of period of performance

  • Updating the number of anticipated awards and average amount of funding to reflect the actuals of FY2022 (Section B)

  • Making minor copyedits and formatting enhancements to clarify project expectations and instructions for producing a complete application (Section A2, Appendix Three), SAM requirements (Appendix Two), and use of the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate (Appendix Three)

  • Replacing references to the DUNS number with references to the UEI (Section D4, Appendix Two)

  • Adding a list of options from which applicants choose keywords for their Abstracts (Appendix Seven). This brings applications into alignment with the OMB-approved Final Performance Report Forms (3137-0100, expiration date 3/31/2025).


Burden Estimate:

The respondent burden remains the same.
