IMLS Closed Due to Partial Government Shutdown
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is closed due to a partial shutdown of the United States Government. Because you are associated with an active award, we want to share the following information with you.
Will IMLS staff be available to answer my questions during the shutdown?
No. IMLS staff will be unavailable, both by email and telephone.
May I continue working on my IMLS grant funded project?
Yes. You may continue to work on your IMLS-funded project, incurring appropriate obligations and/or expenses up to the award amount specified in your official award notification letter, and in accordance with your IMLS-approved budget plan and timeline. Any deliverables and/or award modifications requiring approval from IMLS staff will not be addressed until the government reopens.
May I submit performance and financial reports and/or payment requests during a shutdown?
Yes. You may submit performance and financial reports as well as payment requests during a government shutdown through your eGMS Reach account. These reports will be addressed by the appropriate staff when the government reopens.
Will my institution receive payments during the shutdown?
No. During a funding hiatus, IMLS cannot process requests for payment for its discretionary programs. Payments will resume when the government reopens.
How will I know when IMLS is open again?
Changes in our open status will be announced on our website, www.imls.gov.
