On October 1, 2018, Keith and his RSL Research Group colleagues Marcia J. Rodney and Bill Schwarz began working on an IMLS-funded National Leadership Grant planning project called PRISM–PRISon libraries as Motivators of pro-social behavior and successful re-entry. The goal of this project is to assess the viability of, and lay the groundwork for, a Colorado study of the outcomes of prison library services for their users.

The grant is being managed by the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) in partnership with the Colorado State Library (CSL). Diane Walden of CSL and Sara Wright of CLiC are the project co-directors.
