Through its National Center for Education Research (NCER), the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) supports a program of field-initiated research to build knowledge and understanding of education practice and policy. Through this program, IES supports both basic and applied research that contributes to scientific knowledge and theory of teaching, learning, and organizing education systems; yields outcomes and products that are useful to learners and the educators and education institutions that serve them; and informs stakeholders about the cost and practical benefits and effects of programs, practices, and policies on relevant outcomes for learners across the lifespan
In this request for applications (RFA), NCER invites applications for research to help improve education experiences and outcomes for learners in the United States. For the FY 2024 Education Research Grants program, you must submit to one of the 11 research topics described in the RFA. Across all topics, NCER is particularly interested in applications that identify and evaluate programs and policies designed to address learning acceleration and recovery for historically underserved learners who were disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
