The 21st Century Museum Professionals Program seeks proposals to support projects that offer professional training, recruit future museum professionals including those from underrepresented groups, and evaluate program effectiveness. Administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, applicants such as museums, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit museum support organizations must submit proposals by March 1, 2024 addressing how their projects will further workforce development or recruit diverse professionals. Selections will be announced by July 2024 based on how well applications address the program goals and objectives.
Individual awards between $100,000 and $500,000 will be made to support projects carrying out eligible services like training programs, recruitment efforts, and evaluating outcomes. The anticipated period of performance is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. Up to $2 million total will be awarded to grantees expected to conduct work nationwide to develop and enhance a diverse 21st century museum workforce.
