New this year, IMLS is offering one application deadline for the two programs, which have previously each had two cycles per year. Applicants have through September 17, 2018, to submit their two-page preliminary proposals.

The NLG-L program invests in projects that address challenges faced by the library and archives fields and generate results such as new tools, research findings, or models that can be widely used. The LB21 program supports professional development and training projects for libraries and archives.

The programs have three new project categories this year: Lifelong Learning, Community Catalysts, and National Digital Infrastructures and Initiatives, as well as other changes. Applicants should review the notices of funding opportunity carefully and reach out to IMLS staff members listed on the NLG-L<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aXPzyNLUh5kbqL3Ij3XzoAe36k84WYN0nhlJXG2VS3ZH6ANlJE_8xRTK1qDyMTqbaI9fbuBu7DMk1gx4GRn9OSOZts7hbb-qzaCtWibgPkwjv7N0TxuTaA0KLEKZHSRUkDHIebPp_lbO5TPyuNkyTBGNhpPBNkJ33NZvMYFm1ZZQF76V5tPJigTpjfTWtRaW2M8cBDQWMvqU9JhNOdHPPVTUBd1zJdqN&c=pdYYVO5TYEDp0I5XdK_Z4c8DSyR8Qut_YZjoSjvDeP9ZOt5H2DRdLg==&ch=Ar6Jp4NaQV9mltn3-SklkeTTzM5tZJbaDQajofX005EQ3tK5eFtf-g==> and LB21<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aXPzyNLUh5kbqL3Ij3XzoAe36k84WYN0nhlJXG2VS3ZH6ANlJE_8xRTK1qDyMTqbdRJoQB8ATRUvBfiWurHQt4V-e2TuQ-WQtRhwU9JX6D08jIMSW6oNi8LYhiXFCZ3y4I8n0qdbEC1nEJM4Pym7NtUwvZYPYGVYhhlv5vL2arCMTuX0-BuEB7FayEnVW46Seg-E7Wdh_SE78ExT2sTTDe9oSy35llUx&c=pdYYVO5TYEDp0I5XdK_Z4c8DSyR8Qut_YZjoSjvDeP9ZOt5H2DRdLg==&ch=Ar6Jp4NaQV9mltn3-SklkeTTzM5tZJbaDQajofX005EQ3tK5eFtf-g==> webpages with any questions.
