Getting Started

Recipients of IMLS grants are required to adhere to grants management terms and conditions. The resources you need to manage your award are all located here.

In the grant announcement package, all grantees receive a description of the review process that was used in making funding decisions and copies of reviewer comments from their application. We urge our grantees to consider concerns raised by reviewers as they undertake their project as their suggestions could, in many cases, result in stronger projects.

Any project that is carried out under a grant must be consistent with the proposal that is approved for funding by IMLS. Any change to a grant project’s programmatic scope, key personnel, or budget must first be approved by IMLS. All requests for a change to a grant project shall be signed by the authorizing official and submitted to the appropriate IMLS program officer.
