The Irish Museums Trust (IMT) operates a small grant scheme comprising five grants up to a maximum of €1,000 each, to be awarded twice a year. The grant scheme is operated by the Irish Museums Trust (IMT) in partnership with the Irish Museums Association (IMA).

The application window for the second round of the 2022 grant scheme is open from Monday 7th November 2022 to Monday 19th December 2022.

The grants are aimed at those working in the museum sector in Ireland and students involved in researching a subject, at research masters or doctoral level, relevant to the understanding, management or development of museums across the island. Another objective of the scheme is to enhance networking and peer-to-peer exchanges of knowledge and mutual support, nationally or internationally, among those working in Irish museums.
