IMLS Calls for Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant Applications

Application Deadline: December 15, 2010

IMLS awards bazilliions of dollars ($50,000–$1,000,000 per grant) in this category of grant. It's not just for doctorate or graduate-level work, though. Applicants can apply for funding for:

* Pre-professional programs to interest future professionals in library and information science as a career
* Programs to build institutional capacity in graduate schools of library and information science by developing or enhancing programs
* Continuing education for library and archives staff

Within these categories, applicants may also decide to apply for one-year planning grants at two levels.

Much more information at the program site.
