Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), part of the U.S. Department of Education, announced a discretionary grant competition for FY 2012 under the topic "Research on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education," listed as CFDA 84.305D (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-030311-004). This opportunity sits within IESs broader set of education and special education research competitions authorized by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Title I of Public Law 107-279). The overall intent is to provide national leadership in building fundamental knowledge about education, spanning early childhood through postsecondary and adult education, with a particular emphasis on producing evidence that can be trusted and used by practitioners and decision-makers.
At a program level, IES frames the purpose of its research grants around generating reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning, improve academic achievement, and expand access to educational opportunities for all students. While this specific competition focuses on statistical and research methodology, it is positioned as part of IESs larger research portfolio aimed at addressing areas of national need. In practical terms, the work supported under this kind of program typically targets improvements in the tools and methods used to design studies, analyze data, draw causal conclusions, measure outcomes, and generally strengthen the quality, transparency, and usefulness of education research.
Eligibility is described broadly, emphasizing organizational ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. Eligible applicants include (but are not limited to) public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and other public or private agencies and institutions such as colleges and universities. The listing also specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and submission by email was not allowed. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (for example, search "84.305" rather than "84.305D"). The application package was made available on July 21, 2011, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 22, 2011. The opportunity was posted on March 3, 2011, and later archived on October 22, 2011. The synopsis repeatedly notes that the authoritative requirements and details are contained in the official Federal Register notice, including any priorities, performance measures, and specific submission instructions.
