IES is no longer considering new FY2025 unsolicited prospectus submissions. Should this change in the future, we will post an update. We appreciate your interest in contributing to high-quality, useful education research.
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) considers unsolicited applications for research, evaluation, statistics, and dissemination projects that would make significant contributions to the mission of the Institute of Education Sciences. The Institute's mission is to conduct and support rigorous education statistics, research, and evaluation in order to provide reliable information about the condition of education, education practices that improve academic achievement, and the effectiveness of federal and other education programs. Unsolicited applications are defined as those that are not eligible for funding under the Institute's current grant competitions.
