Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Statistical and Research Methodology in Education grant opportunity (CFDA 84.305D; Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 030816 003) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education program that supports research designed to strengthen the methods and statistical tools used in education research. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving how education studies are designed, analyzed, measured, and interpreted so that the field can produce more trustworthy evidence about what works in education, for whom, and under what conditions. This opportunity sits within IES broader mission to generate reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning, boost academic achievement, and expand access to educational opportunity. The intended beneficiaries of this work are broad and include parents, educators, students, researchers, and policymakers who rely on high-quality evidence to make decisions.
This funding opportunity is part of IES FY 2017 research competitions announced through two IES centers, and it is one of nine competitions listed in the notice. The Federal Register announcement covers multiple related competitions under several CFDA numbers, including 84.305A, 84.305B, 84.305D, 84.305H, 84.305L, 84.305N, 84.324A, 84.324B, and 84.324L. While this specific listing highlights 84.305D (Statistical and Research Methodology in Education), the notice situates it within a larger set of education and special education research and training programs authorized under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002. Across these competitions, IES emphasizes national leadership in expanding knowledge about outcomes spanning early development and school readiness (including infants and toddlers with or at risk for disabilities) as well as education outcomes across the full pipeline from early childhood through postsecondary and adult education.
A wide range of applicants are eligible to apply, reflecting the program's intent to draw on expertise wherever it exists. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, other than IHEs); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and other applicants as described in the official eligibility language. The funding instrument types listed include grants and cooperative agreements, and the activity category is education. The posted and creation dates for this opportunity are both March 8, 2016, with an application deadline of August 4, 2016 (as shown for both the original and current closing date in the listing). The synopsis itself notes that many details (such as specific priorities, performance measures, and application requirements) are contained in the official Federal Register notice, which is treated as the controlling document.
Applications for this competition must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants are expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload it for submission via the Grants.gov "Apply" workflow. A small but important administrative detail in the notice is that applicants must search for the application package by the base CFDA number without the letter suffix. For example, to find the package for 84.305D, the search should use "84.305" rather than "84.305D." Because the text provided is explicitly a synopsis, it repeatedly directs applicants to consult the Federal Register version for the full set of requirements, including any pre-application steps, formatting and submission rules, program priorities, selection criteria, and contact information.
