This New Gallery Will Emphasize Accessibility and Accommodate Different Learning Styles, Empowering Visitors of Diverse Ages, Backgrounds, and Abilities to Curate Their Own Experience in Exploring the Stories Behind These Objects. an Interdisciplinary Museum Project Team Will Work Closely With Project Partners, as Well as Directly With Target Audiences and a Team of Consultants With Expertise in Accessibility, Digital Design, Exhibition Design, and Evaluation, to Help Shape the Project. the Goal Is to Respond to Changing Community Demographics and Increasing Visitor Expectations for Customized Experiences by Re-imagining the Way Museums Use Collections to Attract and Engage New Audiences.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
