Abstract: To facilitate the administration of the IMLS application and review processes for its discretionary grants and cooperative agreements, IMLS uses standardized application forms for eligible libraries, museums, and other organizations to apply for its funding. The forms submitted for public review in this Notice are the IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form, the IMLS Museum Program Information Form, and the IMLS Supplementary Information Form. Beginning in FY2020, IMLS implemented the eGMS (Electronic Grants Management System) originally developed by the National Endowment for the Humanities and now used also by the National Endowment for the Arts and IMLS. The IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form, the IMLS Museum Program Information Form, and the IMLS Supplementary Information Form are each included in one or more of the Grants.gov application packages associated with IMLS grant programs, and they automatically transmit data into eGMS through a system-to-system interface. In this clearance submission (3137-0092) and justification, IMLS requests approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the Grant Application Forms. The changes consist of: • Edits to goals and objectives to correspond with the FY2026 program NOFOs • Removing the Project Keywords section. • For the IMLS Museum Program Information Form: Streamlining the selection options by combining and removing similar project elements.
