MAP is a technical assistance program that offers museums an opportunity to strengthen operations and plan for the future through a process of self-assessment, institutional activities, and consultative peer review. MAP is supported through a cooperative agreement between IMLS and the American Alliance of Museums. Program participants choose from among five assessments: Organizational, Collections Stewardship, Community and Audience Engagement, Board Leadership, and Education and Interpretation. Those who complete the assessment receive a report with prioritized recommendations reflecting the assessment type chosen. The forms submitted for public review include the MAP Application, the MAP Signatures Page, the MAP Follow-Up Visit Request Form, and five surveys addressing specific aspects of the assessment process, the materials used, the individual(s) serving as peer reviewers, and the impact one year after the assessment's conclusion. The application forms are used in participant selection and notification, and the surveys are designed to enhance understanding of where and how the program can be improved.
