IES invites
applications for two new grant programs for fiscal year 2025 (FY 25)
through the National Center for Education Research’s Accelerate,
Transform, Scale (ATS) Initiative. The ATS Initiative supports
education research and development to create scalable solutions that seek
to improve education outcomes for all learners and eliminate persistent
achievement and attainment gaps. Programs within the ATS Initiative are
informed by those sponsored by advanced research projects agencies (ARPAs)
found throughout the Federal government. ARPAs leverage insights from
basic and applied research to develop and scale targeted breakthrough
solutions in focused areas that research or industry do not traditionally
support.
The two new grant programs for FY 25 are:
Research Networks Focused on Critical Problems of Education
Policy and Practice Grants Program (84.305N)
Applications are due August 15, 2024.
Through the Research Networks Focused on Critical
Problems of Education Policy and Practice Grants Program, NCER invites
applications for an ATS Initiative Hub. The Hub will serve as a resource
center for applicants to and grantees in ATS Initiative programs, support
the establishment of new ATS Initiative programs, and provide high level
support to IES in coordinating existing programs that fall under the ATS
Initiative.
From Seedlings to Scale Grants Program (ALN 84.305I)
Applications are due August 15, 2024.
Solving big problems requires taking big leaps. Through the From
Seedlings to Scale (S2S) program, IES will invest in innovative
products, policies, and processes within an identified focus area through
three phases of increasing funding and time duration to support ideas as
they grow from seedlings to scalable solutions. IES expects that solutions
will be grounded in rigorous research and encourages applicants to draw
insights from a wide range of scientific fields that includes but is not
limited to the education sciences. Projects will incorporate high quality
research, robust solution development, and attention to sustainability and
scaling throughout all phases.
For FY 25, IES invites bold thinkers to apply for Phase One projects
focused on Seamless Personalized Education Experiences Delivered at Scale
(SPEED at Scale). SPEED at Scale focuses on developing innovative
solutions that allow teachers to seamlessly provide personalized
instruction for PreK-12 grade students.

application process, visit the IES
Funding Opportunities web page.
IES will provide virtual office hours for the S2S competition.

Technical Assistance web page for additional details.
