Opportunity Summary:
The Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies grant opportunity (CFDA 84.305E) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It sits within IES broader FY 2010 research competitions announced under the authority of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Title I of Public Law 107-279). The overall intent is to strengthen the nation s evidence base by supporting scientifically rigorous education research that expands what is known about how education programs and policies work, from early childhood through postsecondary and adult education, with an emphasis on generating findings that are reliable, valid, and useful to real decision makers.
At its core, this program is about evaluating state and local education initiatives and policy choices so educators, parents, students, researchers, and policymakers can make better informed decisions. IES frames the purpose broadly as providing national leadership in building fundamental knowledge and improving academic achievement and access to educational opportunity. In practice, the Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies track focuses on producing credible evidence about education practices, reforms, and interventions implemented by states, districts, and other local education agencies, especially in areas of demonstrated national need. While the synopsis does not list specific priorities or required topics, it makes clear that applications are expected to reflect the Institute s standard for scientifically valid research and to align with the official Federal Register notice for the competition s detailed requirements, performance measures, and priorities.
Eligibility is intentionally wide, as long as the applicant can demonstrate the ability and capacity to carry out rigorous research. Eligible applicants include a mix of public and private entities such as state, county, city or township governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; special district governments; and even individuals. The listing signals that IES is open to partnerships across sectors, but the key gatekeeper is research capability, not organizational type. The funding opportunity also specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for research organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Applications for this competition must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and paper or emailed submissions are not accepted. Applicants are instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the base CFDA number on Grants.gov (for example, searching 84.305 rather than 84.305E). The application package was made available March 23, 2009, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 25, 2009, with an archive date of July 25, 2009. The opportunity number associated with the posting is ED-GRANTS-032309-006, and the funding activity category is Education under CFDA 84.305 (Education Research, Development and Dissemination).
For official guidance, the synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that the controlling details are in the Federal Register notice inviting applications, including any pre-application steps, formatting and submission rules, required components, review criteria, performance measures, and any competition priorities. Applicants needing technical help with the announcement or access issues are directed to the Grants.gov system administrator contact listed (Julius Cotton), while program content questions are directed to the IES program manager contact (Allen Ruby).
