The University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) received a $252,885 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES) under the Education Research, Development and Dissemination (CFDA 84.305) program. The grant will fund a study to "INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF THE LETRS PROGRAM ON TEACHER KNOWLEDGE, INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE, AND STUDENT LITERACY OUTCOMES" over the period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
As part of the grant, UC Irvine will collaborate with researchers at The Ohio State University (OSU) through a $202,422 sub-award to fulfill specific project responsibilities. The sub-award will allow the OSU research team, led by Dr. Shayne Piasta, to conduct all activities as proposed in the grant submission, including project administration, protocol development, and dissemination planning. By leveraging the expertise at both UC Irvine and OSU, this project aims to generate evidence on the effectiveness of the LETRS literacy intervention program in improving teacher knowledge, instructional practices, and student literacy outcomes.
