Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education, announced a fiscal year 2014 discretionary grant competition for its Research Training Program in the Education Sciences under CFDA 84.305B. This opportunity sits inside IESs broader set of FY 2014 research competitions authorized by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, and it is designed to strengthen the national capacity to conduct high-quality, scientifically valid education research. In practical terms, the program is meant to develop researchers who can produce reliable, valid evidence about education practices, policies, and interventions that improve learning, academic achievement, and equitable access to educational opportunities across the full pipeline, from early childhood through postsecondary and adult education. The overall IES mission framing also highlights generating knowledge about developmental and school readiness outcomes for infants and toddlers with or at risk for disability, alongside education outcomes for all students more generally.
Within the FY 2014 portfolio described in the notice, the National Center for Education Research (NCER) planned to run five separate competitions: Education Research (84.305A), Education Research Training (84.305B), Education Research and Development Centers (84.305C), Statistical and Research Methodology in Education (84.305D), and Partnerships and Collaborations Focused on Problems of Practice or Policy (84.305H). The synopsis also notes that the National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) would not hold competitions in FY 2014, which is relevant context because it signals that the training opportunity described here is anchored on the NCER side of IES for that year.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and focuses on capacity rather than institutional type. Any applicant with the ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research may apply, including but not limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations, as well as public and private agencies and institutions such as colleges and universities. The listing does not describe cost sharing requirements; it explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For logistics and compliance, applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov (the governmentwide application portal). Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the alphabetic suffix (for example, searching for 84.305 rather than 84.305B). The application package was made available on June 6, 2013, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 4, 2013. The notice also emphasizes that applications cannot be submitted by email; they must be uploaded through Grants.gov.
Because the text provided is a synopsis rather than the full Federal Register notice, it repeatedly directs applicants to consult the official Federal Register application notice for the complete and controlling requirements. That official notice would contain the details that typically determine competitiveness and compliance, such as pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and full program contact information. The funding opportunity number associated with this posting is ED GRANTS 042313 002, and the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the education activity area.
For applicant support, the announcement provides two main contacts: a Grants.gov systems administrator contact (Julius Cotton, via EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov and phone 202-245-6288) for technical access issues, and a program contact at IES (Program Manager Meredith Larson, phone 202-219-2025, email Meredith.Larson@ed.gov) for programmatic questions.
