Opportunity Summary:
The Education Research Program (CFDA 84.305A), announced by the U.S. Department of Education through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), is a discretionary grant competition for FY 2010 intended to strengthen the nation s knowledge base about what works in education. The opportunity is authorized under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Title I of Public Law 107 279) and is framed as part of a broader set of IES research competitions that also include education research training, research and development centers, statistical and methodological research, evaluations of state and local policies, and parallel competitions focused on special education research. The overarching aim is national leadership in expanding fundamental understanding of education across the full life span of learning, from early childhood through K 12, postsecondary, and adult education.
At its core, the program is designed to produce reliable, valid, and scientifically grounded evidence that can be used by parents, teachers, school and district leaders, researchers, policymakers, and the public. IES emphasizes research that improves learning and academic achievement and that expands access to educational opportunities for all students. In practical terms, the grant supports rigorous studies of education practices, programs, and policies in areas of demonstrated national need, with the expectation that funded work will contribute to stronger decision making and better outcomes in real educational settings.
Eligibility is broad, reflecting the research mission and the need for capable applicants who can carry out scientifically valid work. Applicants must have the ability and capacity to conduct rigorous education research, and eligible entities include a wide range of public and private organizations. Examples listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for profit organizations (including small businesses and other for profit entities), state governments, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, and public housing or Indian housing authorities. The listing also notes that other applicants may be eligible as clarified in the official notice, reinforcing that the Federal Register announcement is the controlling document for definitive eligibility rules.
Applications for this opportunity must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; paper submissions and emailed applications are not accepted. Applicants are expected to download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system. When searching on Grants.gov, applicants must use the numeric CFDA identifier without the letter suffix (for example, search for 84.305 rather than 84.305A). The Grants.gov Helpdesk is available at 1 800 518 4726 and support@grants.gov for technical submission issues, and the notice also identifies agency contacts for applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement or need program guidance.
Key dates for this competition were posted as follows: the request for applications package became available on March 23, 2009, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 25, 2009. The opportunity was archived on July 25, 2009. The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 032309 001, and it is categorized as a discretionary grant under the education funding activity area.

Because the public summary is explicitly described as only a synopsis, applicants are directed to the official Federal Register application notice for complete details on required components and compliance expectations. This includes pre application and application requirements, how to submit, performance measures, program priorities, and any competition specific instructions.
