Helpful Definitions
An organizational unit is governed by a larger administrative body. Examples include libraries and archives that are parts of colleges or universities; schools of information science; and libraries that are administered by units of state or local government. As a result of this arrangement, an organizational unit usually does not have its own Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and does not have the legal authority to apply for IMLS funding on its own. It works with the larger administrative body, which is referred to as the legal applicant, to submit an application.
A legal applicant has its own Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and has the legal authority to apply directly for IMLS funding. The name of the legal applicant is listed in Item 5a of the SF-424S. Examples include independently operating libraries; nonprofit organizations that are responsible for the operation of one or more libraries; universities; library consortia; library associations; school districts; and units of state or local government that administer libraries or archives. A single legal applicant may have many organizational units, or it may have none.
YES. Check here if the entity identified in Item 5a on the SF-424S submitted with your application has an organizational unit that will carry out the activities described in this application.
NO. Check here if the entity identified in Item 5a on the SF-424S submitted with your application does not have an organizational unit that will carry out the activities described in this application.
