The Institute’s purpose in awarding these grants is to provide national leadership in expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding (1) of developmental and school readiness outcomes for infants and toddlers with or at risk for disability, and (2) of education outcomes for all students from early childhood education through postsecondary and adult education. The Institute will conduct seven research competitions in FY 2015 through two of its National Education Centers: The National Center for Education Research (NCER) will hold five competitions: One competition for education research, one for education research training, one for education and research centers, one for statistical and research methodology in education, and one competition for partnerships and collaborations focused on problems of practice or policy. The Institute’s National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) will hold two competitions: one for special education research and one competition for special education research training.
Funding amounts for these competitions will range from $50,000 to $1,000,000 with project periods of three to five years. The applications are due August 7, 2014.
