I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library

Federal support for the Nation’s 

libraries and museums. We advance, 

support, and empower America’s 

museums, libraries, and related 

organizations through grant making,

libraries work together to transform the 

lives of individuals and communities. 

To learn more, visit www.imls.gov. 

II. Current Actions 

All proposals submitted for IMLS 

competitive awards are reviewed by 

library and museum professionals who 

know the needs of communities, can 

share promising practices, and are well 

versed in the issues and concerns of 

museums and libraries today. Peer 

reviewers dedicate their time and 

expertise to advance the highest 

professional practices in the field. The 

IMLS review process is well respected, 

and the success of our grant programs is 

largely due to the expertise of our 

reviewers. These peer reviewer forms, 

accessed through the IMLS website, 

allow library and museum professionals 

to indicate their interest and expertise to 

be considered for selection as an IMLS 

peer reviewer. 

This action is to renew the content, 

forms, and instructions for the next 

three years.
