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) Grants program (ALN 84.305S). Through this 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. State agencies are encouraged to link their SLDS data to other available datasets to better support the research.
