Join OLIS and colleagues to think through your ideas for the upcoming round of ARPA Competitive Project Grants. This grant cycle will fund forward-thinking projects between $10,000 and $50,000 that expand digital access, support learning, and strengthen library services in their communities to aid recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Libraries or organizations are encouraged to submit proposals that prioritize partnership,  provide resources for job seekers and support workforce development, or expand digital access or learning programs for underserved populations.

This session will include brainstorming and design thinking activities to help you generate or build upon a great idea!

This is not an informational session about the ARPA Competetive Grants. For general information about the grant application process, please register for the informational webinar on Tuesday, August 24 at 11 AM.

If any reasonable accommodation is needed to ensure equal access or participation, contact the Office of Library and Information Services at (401) 574-9300 not less than three (3) business days in advance of the meeting or program date. More advanced notice is highly advisable.
