The NYS Archives Office has announced the schedule for information sessions for the Local Government Records Management Improvement 2009-10 cycle. The purpose of Local Government Records Management Improvement
Fund (LGRMIF) grants is to help local governments establish records management programs or develop new program components.
The purpose of this information session is to review the LGRMIF application guidelines and instructions and to learn how to write a strong grant proposal. Examples of successful applications are examined and analyzed. It is very important to gain as much insight as possible into the LGRMIF grant application process if you are considering a project for the upcoming grant cycle that has a February 2, 2009 deadline. State Archives anticipates that the upcoming grant cycle will be very competitive.
