SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    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 
transform the lives of individuals and communities. To learn more, 
visit www.imls.gov.

II. Current Actions

    The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) is a technical assistance 
program that can help a museum attain excellence in operations and 
planning, through a confidential process of self-study and peer review. 
For over 30 years, MAP has helped over 5,000 small and mid-sized 
museums of all types through a confidential, consultative process of 
self-study and a site visit from an expert peer reviewer over one year. 
MAP helps museums strengthen operations, plan for the future and meet 
standards. MAP is currently administered by the American Alliance of 
Museums (Alliance) and supported through a cooperative agreement with 
the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
    This action is to create the forms and instructions for the program 
application for the Museum Assessment Program for the next three years.
