Community hub of accelerate, transform, scale (ATS) teams

Digital Promise Global received a $1.46 million Project Grant from the Institute of Education Sciences under the Education Research, Development and Dissemination program (CFDA 84.305) awarded September 30, 2025, with completion targeted for September 29, 2026. The grant funds the Community Hub of Accelerate, Transform, Scale (ATS) Teams initiative, which supports rigorous education research activities designed to improve student academic achievement and expand knowledge of effective educational practices. As a nonprofit research organization based in Washington, DC, Digital Promise Global specializes in K-12 educational technology research and professional learning services, positioning this award within the organization's core portfolio of federally funded research and innovation projects.

The ATS Teams initiative aligns with the Institute of Education Sciences' mandate to provide educators, policymakers, and communities with reliable information on educational practices and interventions that support learning outcomes. Digital Promise Global's research-focused delivery model, demonstrated across its portfolio of NSF and Department of Education grants, indicates the project will generate research products, dissemination materials, and evidence-based insights intended to advance education policy and practice. This one-year funding cycle reflects typical Education Sciences award structures, with the expectation that findings and products will be delivered within the 12-month grant period subject to standard federal record-keeping and reporting requirements.
