SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institute of Museum and Library Services

museums. We advance, support, and empower America's museums, libraries, 
and related organizations through grant making, research, and policy 
development. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov.
    Current Actions: This Notice proposes the clearance of Research for 
Grants for American Latino History and Culture Program. The research is 
intended to inform IMLS as it designs and implements a new grantmaking 
program to build the capacity of American Latino museums and education 
organizations nationwide. The ALHC Program was authorized for creation 
by the National Museum of the American Latino Act (NMALA) in 2020 (H.R. 
2420)--the same Act that authorized creation of a new Smithsonian 
National Museum of the American Latino. This proposed research will be 
the first for the ALHC Program to help ensure its relevance to the 
field and accessibility to stakeholders as well as the measurement of 
project outcomes. Coupled with a secondary data collection effort 
(which will include reviewing administrative records, museum/nonprofit 
grantee databases, and a literature review), this study will include 
three specific primary data collection activities: community listening 
sessions, semi-structured interviews, and a survey of ALHC Program 
stakeholders.
    The 60-day Notice was published in the Federal Register on November 
29, 2022 (87 FR 73336). The agency received no comments under this
