Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Education Research Training Program (CFDA 84.305B) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen the national capacity to conduct high-quality, scientifically valid education research. The broader purpose behind IES research grant programs is to generate reliable and valid evidence about education practices, interventions, and policies that support learning, improve academic achievement, and expand access to educational opportunities for all students. In practical terms, the program is meant to help build a pipeline of well-trained education researchers who can produce rigorous findings that are useful to educators, families, policymakers, and the public, especially in areas where there is clear national need for better evidence.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, focusing less on organization type and more on demonstrated ability and capacity to carry out scientifically valid research and training. Applicants may include nonprofit and for-profit organizations, public and private agencies, and institutions such as colleges and universities. The listing also explicitly notes eligible categories such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions), small businesses, and other organizations as clarified in the official notice. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can make the program more accessible to applicants that might not have large discretionary funds to contribute.
Applications for this competition are submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the instructions emphasize a common point that can trip people up: when searching for the application package, applicants should search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (for example, search for 84.305 rather than 84.305B). The opportunity description also points applicants to related IES competitions that use the same general application access method, including Education Research, Research on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education, Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies, Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships, Special Education Research, Special Education Research Training, and the Accelerating the Academic Achievement of Students with Disabilities Research Initiative.
This particular posting reflects a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2013 and includes a specific historical timeline: the opportunity was posted March 6, 2012, the application package became available July 19, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 20, 2012, with an archive date of October 20, 2012. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-030612-004, the funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is education. The CFDA is listed under 84.305, which corresponds to Education Research, Development and Dissemination, while the training program itself is identified as CFDA 84.305B within that umbrella.
Because the synopsis is only a high-level summary, applicants are repeatedly directed to the official Federal Register notice for the controlling requirements and details. That is where an applicant would find the exact eligibility rules, any pre-application expectations, submission requirements, performance measures, program priorities, and the authoritative contact and procedural guidance. For access to the official rules and regulatory text, the notice points to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations via the Government Publishing Office site referenced in the announcement.
For assistance, the notice provides two key contacts: Julius Cotton, the ED Grants.gov FIND systems administrator, for technical or access issues with the full announcement or submission process (phone 202-245-6140; email julius.cotton@ed.gov), and Meredith Larson at IES as the program manager for programmatic questions (phone 202-219-2025; email Meredith.Larson@ed.gov), with a mailing address at the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, 400 Maryland Avenue NW, Capital Place, Room 618, Washington, DC 20202.
