IMLS grant?

@Carmen Mitchell

From Cyril at Humboldt:
There may be an opportunity for ScholarWorks to obtain an IMLS community catalyst:  https://www.imls.gov/our-work/community-catalyst-initiative  

If they do a fall call, and possibly fund in summer of 2021, would you be interested? If so, 

  • What partnerships in ScholarWorks would make this appealing to IMLS?   

  • Would an infusion of funding help move things forward?  

  • What could the funding be used for to make the initiative more successful and scalable?

Thank you for considering the idea, and let me know if I can be of further assistance. 

  • Mark: thinking of potential project developing thesis deposit tool, similar to shareyourpaper.org;

  • Lana: Perhaps grant should match needs with IR, specifically looking at LSTA grants which might be better fit

  • Next meeting will propose list of grant options
