Grant Program Guidelines
Application forms and guidelines for the current fiscal year are made available approximately 90 days before the grant deadline. Until that time, applications and guidelines from the previous year are available for your reference, but you must use the current fiscal year application when you apply.
Please note that on December 5, 2012, IMLS posted revised versions of the IMLS Budget Form and Program Information Sheet. These revised forms address issues applicants were having. If you have downloaded and/or saved these forms prior to December 5, you will need to download the revised versions. The minimum software requirement for these forms is Adobe Reader 7.0.5, and JavaScript must be enabled to utilize the Budget Form.
