Abstract: The Museum Assessment Program (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. Program participants choose from among five assessments: Organizational, Collections Stewardship, Community and Audience Engagement, Board Leadership, and Education and Interpretation. The participant museum completes a self-study workbook; a peer reviewer visits the museum; the peer reviewer, staff, and leadership engage in pre-arranged activities; and the peer reviewer provides a written report with prioritized recommendations reflecting the assessment type chosen. The participant museum may request a follow-up visit after the original visit has been completed. This ICR contains application forms for the program. They are designed to collect information to support both applications to the program by museums and post-program evaluations.
