Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking – 84.305S

In this Request for Applications (RFA), NCER invites applications for projects that will contribute to its Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking (Using Data for Policymaking) grant program. Through the Using Data for Policy grant program, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) supports state agencies’ use of their state’s education longitudinal data systems (SLDS) to provide evidence for their own program and policy decisions, and those of their local education agencies, linked to the four outcomes listed above. State agencies may apply for these grants on their own or in collaboration with other organizations. Learners may be in pre-kindergarten, K-12, postsecondary, and/or adult education.
