New! U.S. Department of Education Innovation and Research Program Grants
The Education Innovation and Research (EIR) program provides funding to create, develop, implement, replicate or take to scale entrepreneurial, evidence-based, field-initiated innovations to improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students and to rigorously evaluate such innovations. There are three types of grants: early phase, mid-phase and expansion.
|
|
Early phase grants must demonstrate a rationale.
Funding will support the development, implementation and feasibility testing of a program, which prior research suggests has promise, for the purpose of determining whether the program can successfully improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students.
Proposal due date: July 21, 2022
|
|
Mid-phase grants are supported by moderate evidence.
Funding will support implementation and a rigorous evaluation of a program that has been successfully implemented under an early-phase grant or other similar effort.
Proposal due date: June 21, 2022
|
|
Expansion grants are supported by strong evidence for at least one population and setting, and grantees are encouraged to implement innovations at the national level.
Funding will support implementation and a rigorous evaluation of a program found to produce sizable, significant impacts under a mid-phase grant or other similar effort.
Proposal due date: June 21, 2022

New! Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood
The Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood is an incubator of promising research and development projects that appear likely to improve the welfare of young children, from infancy through 7 years, in the United States.
Grants are only made if a successful project outcome will likely be of significant interest to other professionals, within the grantee’s field of endeavor, and would have a direct benefit and potential national application.
The foundation's goal is to provide seed money to implement those imaginative proposals that exhibit the greatest chance of improving the lives of young children, on a national scale.
Letter of inquiry due date: Sept. 30, 2022

National Science Foundation and William T. Grant Foundation: Increasing the Use, Usefulness and Impact of Research About Youth
The National Science Foundation and William T. Grant Foundation have released a coordinated call for proposals focused on helping the public and private sectors use research to increase quality of life for America’s youth.
Proposals may be submitted to either NSF or WT Grant. Proposers can submit to both organizations only if the proposed activities submitted to each organization are unique and not redundant.
National Science Foundation
NSF is encouraging submission of proposals that will increase the quality of life for America’s youth, including improving decision-makers’ use of research, making research more useful in policy creation and practice, and when/how research findings improve youth outcomes.
Proposals may be submitted anytime.
