The full application packages will come out on June 30^th with a proposal submission deadline two months and one week later on September 8. COEHD Research will schedule two pre-proposal sessions on the week of June 20^th, and they will be followed by weekly support sessions running up until the submission deadline. Please contact me for any support and early planning in the coming weeks on these IES grants. Dr. Neely mentioned that the typical scheduling for the IES competition is announcement in mid-May with deadlines in mid-August so be aware of the shift in scheduling. REDKE workshops featuring panels of successful IES recipients were conducted on April 14^th and 15^th and are available here: DoE Institute for Education Sciences 4.14.22 and 4.15.22  (contact Ms. Tammy Ramos at tammy.ramos@utsa.edu for access to the folder) There will be opportunities to tap our colleagues who received IES funding for support and feedback. 

 

The IES National Center for Education Research (NCER) is announcing two competitions—one competition in each of the following areas: Education research training and using longitudinal data to support State education policymaking.  

 

The Research Training Programs in the Education Sciences Competition (ALN 84.305B). Under this competition, NCER will consider only applications that address one of the following topics:  

• Early Career Mentoring Program for Faculty at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs).  

• Methods Training in Data Science for Education Researchers.  

 

Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking (ALN 84.305S). Under this competition, NCER will only consider applications that address State agencies’ use of their State’s education longitudinal data systems to identify and reduce opportunity- and achievement gaps for learners from prekindergarten through adult education. (Note: for ALN 84.305S, the lead applicant must be a State agency with UTSA as either a co-applicant or a sub-awardee.) 

 

The IES National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) is announcing two competitions—one competition in each of the following areas: Special education research and special education research training.  

 

Under the Special Education Research Competition (ALN 84.324A), NCSER encourages a broad range of research, including studies that may have more than one research focus (such as reading and behavior) and may focus broadly on students with disabilities or on a particular disability (such as autism spectrum disorders). The range of research supported through this program includes, but is not limited to, programs to improve child development and school readiness; academic and/or behavioral interventions; instructional practices and/or professional development programs for teachers and other school- based personnel; strategies for improving the family support and engagement critical to the success of students with disabilities; policies and systems-level interventions and programs to address school finance, school-community collaborations, or school structures that affect educational progress for students with disabilities; transition from secondary school to postsecondary education, career, and/or independent living; as well as access to, persistence in, and completion of postsecondary education.  

 

The Research Training Programs in Special Education Competition (ALN 84.324B). Under this competition, NCSER will consider only applications that address Early Career Development and Mentoring.
