Greetings Colleagues,

With this e-blast, I’m highlighting two opportunities from the US Department of Education Institute for Education Sciences—the Transformative Research Program and the Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking. Also, I’ve included a reminder to take the survey for the upcoming Grant Development Bootcamp as well as a calendar of current funding opportunities.

Institute for Education Sciences, Transformative Research Program Deadline August 17, 2023

https://ies.ed.gov/funding/pdf/2024_84305T.pdf

Through the Transformative Research program, IES seeks to support innovative research that has the potential to make dramatic advances towards solving seemingly intractable problems and challenges in the education field and/or to accelerate the pace of conducting education research to facilitate major breakthroughs. For FY 2024, the program will focus on accelerating learning and reducing persistent education inequities by leveraging evidence-based principles from the learning sciences coupled with advanced technology to create high-reward, scalable technology solutions.

Institute for Education Sciences, Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking Deadline August 17, 2023

***Note: The lead applicant must be a State agency***

https://ies.ed.gov/funding/pdf/2024_84305S.pdf

Through the Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking grant program, IES supports state agencies to use their state’s education longitudinal data systems (SLDS) to provide evidence for their own program and policy decisions and those of their local education agencies. Data from other sources may also be included to help address the state agency’s research questions. For FY 2024, the program will support research to identify and reduce opportunity and achievement gaps for learners from prekindergarten through adult education. State agencies may apply for these grants on their own or in collaboration with other organizations.
