About this program
The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science funded conservation assessment grants through CFDA 45.304, with the most recent grant award made on December 1, 2010. This program is no longer active for new applications; the portfolio shows no grant awards after 2010 and no recent grant opportunities.
The Conservation Assessment Program supported museums in conserving the nation's historic, scientific, and cultural heritage through a cooperative agreement between the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Heritage Preservation, Inc. Awarded grants funded conservation assessments and related preservation planning activities at individual museum institutions.
The program distributed $5 million in federal funding across 241 Project Grants, with recipients contributing an additional $1.9 million in non-federal cost-share for a combined total of $6.9 million obligated. Awards concentrated heavily in 2004 and 2005, when the program distributed 238 of its 241 grants. Award sizes ranged widely: small institutional assessments received $4,430 to $7,890, while larger multi-year efforts like the October 2006 award to Project Grant IA0007000107 obligated $2,406,901 and the October 2008 award to Project Grant IA0009000109 obligated $1,607,411. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science was the sole funding agency across all 241 awards.
The program's activity pattern—front-loaded with 119 awards in 2004, 119 in 2005, and then only 1–2 awards annually from 2006 onward—reflects a conclusion or fundamental restructuring of the program roughly fifteen years ago. No new solicitations have been posted in recent years, and no awards have been disbursed since December 2010. Organizations currently seeking federal support for museum conservation should explore active alternatives under the Institute of Museum and Library Services or other ongoing federal preservation funding lines.
