IES LOIs due July 22 for NCER funding opportunities; full proposals due Sept. 9
The National Center for Education Research at the Institute of Education Sciences released three additional funding announcements for FY22. All application packages are now available online.
Education Research Grants (84.305A)
- LOI deadline: Thursday, July 22 (optional but encouraged)
- Application deadline: Thursday, Sept. 9
This research grant program seeks to expand our understanding of what works for whom, in what context, and why to provide reliable information about how to improve education outcomes for learners at all levels, including early childhood, elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and adult education. Grants support the development and validation of measurement tools, exploratory research, the development and pilot testing of new interventions, initial efficacy studies to evaluate interventions, and longitudinal follow-up studies of efficacious interventions. This research program covers 11 topic areas in FY22.
Research Training Programs in the Education Sciences (84.305B)
- LOI deadline: Thursday, July 22 (optional but encouraged)
- Application deadline: Thursday, Sept. 9
These research training programs seek to fund new approaches to train and mentor students and researchers from diverse backgrounds to encourage their entry into and success in education research careers. These efforts are intended to improve the quality of education research and to encourage new ideas, approaches, and perspectives. For FY22, there are three training programs—early career mentoring for faculty at minority-serving institutions, postdoctoral research training, and methods training for education researchers.
Research Grants Focused on Systematic Replication in Education (84.305R)
- LOI deadline: Thursday, July 22 (optional but encouraged)
- Application deadline: Thursday, Sept. 9
This research grant program seeks to support systematic replication studies of interventions that have produced beneficial effects on education outcomes in one or more prior impact studies. Proposed replication studies will systematically vary at least one aspect of the prior impact study and investigate factors that may lead to and sustain successful implementation.
