About this opportunity

This federal grant opportunity from the Institute of Education Sciences seeks applications for four cooperative agreements focused on improving rural education, using generative artificial intelligence to augment teaching and learning, improving K-12 teacher recruitment and retention policies, and improving outcomes in elementary science education. Eligible applicants include nonprofit, for-profit, and public/private organizations and institutions of higher education. Applications are due by March 7, 2024 and will be evaluated based on significance, research plan and methods, qualifications of key personnel, and resources and capacity to manage the grant. Awards will be made for up to five years to expand the body of education research and develop evidence-based practices.

Estimated award amounts range from $1-3 million depending on the topic area. Research is expected to be conducted nationwide with a focus on rural communities for the center on improving rural education. The remaining centers will operate virtually to develop resources and conduct studies across diverse education settings. One center will be jointly funded through the National Science Foundation to improve elementary science education outcomes.
