SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services is the primary source of federal 

support for the nation’s libraries and 

museums. We advance, support, and 

empower America’s museums, libraries, 

and related organizations through grant 

making, research, and policy 

development. Our vision is a nation 

where museums and libraries work 

together to work together to transform 

the lives of individuals and 

communities. To learn more, visit 

www.imls.gov. 

Current Actions: The purpose of this 

collection is to assist Native American 

tribes in improving core library services 

for their communities, particularly as 

they relate to the following goals in the 

Museum and Library Services Act (20 

U.S.C. 9141). 

1. Expanding services for learning and 

access to information and educational 

resources in a variety of formats 

(including new and emerging 

technology), in all types of libraries, for 

individuals of all ages in order to 

support such individuals’ need for 

education, lifelong learning, workforce 

development, economic and business 

development, health information, 

critical thinking skills, digital library 

skills, and financial literacy and other 

types of literacy skills. 

2. Establishing or enhancing 

electronic and other linkages and 

improved coordination among and 

between libraries and entities, as 

described in 20 U.S.C. 9134(b)(6), for 

the purpose of improving the quality of 

and access to library and information 

services. 

3. Providing training and professional 

development, including continuing 

education, to enhance the skills of the 

current library workforce and 

leadership, and advance the delivery of 

library and information services; and 

enhancing efforts to recruit future 

professionals, including those from 

diverse and underrepresented 

backgrounds, to the field of library and 

information services. 

4. Developing public and private 

partnerships with other agencies, tribes, 

and community-based organizations. 

5. Targeting library services to 

individuals of diverse geographic, 

cultural, and socioeconomic 

backgrounds, to individuals with 

disabilities, and to individuals with 

limited functional literacy or 

information skills. 

6. Targeting library and information 

services to persons having difficulty 

using a library and to underserved 

urban and rural communities, including 

children (from birth through age 17) 

from families with incomes below the 

poverty line (as defined by the Office of 

Management and Budget and revised 

annually in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 

9902(2)) applicable to a family of the 

size involved. 

7. Developing library services that 

provide all users access to information 

through local, State, regional, national, 

and international collaborations and 

networks. 

8. Carrying out other activities 

consistent with the purposes of the 

Library Services and Technology 

subchapter of the IMLS statute (20 

U.S.C. 9121). 

Nonprofit organizations that primarily 

serve and represent Native Hawaiians 

(as the term is defined in 20 U.S.C. 

7517) are eligible to apply for funding 

under the Naı ̈ve Hawaiian Library 

Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exciting 

new opportunities at the interface of 

neuroscience and other science and 

engineering disciplines, catalyzed by 

transformative new discoveries and 

technologies, are poised to reshape 

brain research and its applications. 

Advances at these interdisciplinary 

frontiers depend on dialogue across 

many areas of scholarship, including 

behavioral, biological, cognitive, 

computing, educational, engineering, 

mathematical, and physical sciences 

research, as well as fields and subfields 

that have not traditionally been linked 

to neuroscience. The National Science
