About this award

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $11 million to the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on August 1, 2026, under the Education Innovation and Research program (CFDA 84.411) to develop and implement PROJECT REACH: Responsive Evidence-Based AI Coaching for High-Impact Literacy Instruction.

The award funds the creation and implementation of an AI-powered coaching intervention designed to improve literacy outcomes for high-need students. The recipient, RI DESE, will deliver this innovation through a five-year period of performance ending July 31, 2031, with place of performance in Providence, Rhode Island.

Under the Education Innovation and Research program's tiered-evidence framework, the Department ties award size to the strength of evidence supporting funded interventions, with larger investments supporting replication of proven approaches. All grantees must conduct rigorous, independent evaluations of project effectiveness and provide matching funds equal to ten percent of the grant award from Federal, State, local, or private sources. RI DESE, a state education agency serving as the prime recipient of substantial federal education funding throughout Rhode Island, will administer the grant as a sub-awardee of the parent State of Rhode Island.
