Opportunity Summary:
The Research on Statistical and Research Methodology in Education grant opportunity (Program Schedule 84.305D, CFDA 84.305D) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It was part of the Institutes 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 behind these competitions is to provide national leadership in building fundamental knowledge about education, spanning the full pipeline from early childhood through K-12, postsecondary, and adult education. Within that larger portfolio, this specific program focuses on strengthening the statistical and research methods that underpin high-quality education research, so the field can generate evidence that is more trustworthy, more useful, and more actionable.
The core purpose of the IES research grant programs, as described in the notice, is to produce reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning, raise academic achievement, and expand access to educational opportunity for all students. The methods-focused competition supports work that improves how education research is designed, measured, analyzed, and interpreted, which ultimately affects how confidently parents, educators, researchers, policymakers, and the public can rely on research findings when making decisions. The Federal Register notice emphasizes that these grants are aimed at areas of demonstrated national need, which signals that IES is looking for projects that address real methodological gaps or recurring problems in education research practice.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package tied to the CFDA number (with the important instruction to search without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for 84.305 rather than 84.305D). The process required applicants to download the package, complete it offline, and then upload it to Grants.gov; submissions could not be emailed directly to the agency. For technical submission issues, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov). The opportunity was posted March 23, 2009, with the application package available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 25, 2009. The archive date was July 25, 2009. The funding opportunity number listed for the competition is ED-GRANTS-032309-005. The listing states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad, centered on whether an applicant has the ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and public and private agencies and institutions such as colleges and universities. The opportunity explicitly lists a wide range of entity types, including independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; small businesses; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. This breadth suggests IES is open to strong methodological proposals from many sectors, as long as the work is rigorous and aligned with the program goals.
The notice repeatedly points applicants back to the official Federal Register application notice as the controlling source for specifics such as priorities, performance measures, pre-application and application requirements, and submission details. It also provides a path to access official regulatory information through the Government Publishing Office resources. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Julius Cotton (202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov).
