IES announces FY24 research grant competitions

• Application packages available: Thursday, July 20
• Letters of intent deadline: Thursday, Aug. 10 (optional but encouraged)
• Application deadline: Thursday, Sept. 21

The National Center for Education Research and the National Center for Special Education Research released funding announcements for three fiscal year 2024 grant competitions.

• Education Research Grants: This program seeks to expand the understanding of education programs, practices, and policies in the United States and how they are related to education outcomes for learners at all levels, including early childhood, elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and adult education.
• Special Education Research Grants: This program seeks to expand the knowledge base and understanding of learners with or at risk for disabilities from infancy through postsecondary education.

For both programs, applications are invited across a wide range of substantive topic areas.

• Research Training Programs in Special Education (84.324B): These training programs seek to prepare individuals to conduct rigorous and relevant special education and early intervention research that advances knowledge in the field and addresses issues important to education policymakers and practitioners. For FY24, there is one training program in special education—early career development and mentoring.

More information about the IES research programs, application process, and deadlines are available on the IES funding opportunities webpage. IES may announce additional competitions later in 2023.

Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education pre-award team to schedule a proposal development meeting if you intend to submit an application.
