About this program
The Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement distributed 49 competitive Project Grants totaling $641.6 million in federal dollars under CFDA 84.396 on October 1, 2010, with no grant awards or solicitations posted since that single funding round 16 years ago.
The program funds local educational agencies and nonprofit-LEA partnerships to expand implementation of innovative practices demonstrating impact on student achievement, achievement-gap closure, dropout reduction, high school graduation rates, or college enrollment and completion. Recent awards financed three grant tiers: Development Grants supporting pilot programs and proof-of-concept work at smaller scale (typically $7 million to $27 million per award); Validation Grants testing proven models at scale (ranging from $32.9 million to $279.4 million, with the Teacher Effectiveness and Certification Initiative receiving $279.4 million as the largest single award); and Scale-Up Grants expanding successful models to new sites ($99.3 million to $140 million). Representative awards include the Teacher Effectiveness and Certification Initiative for $279.4 million, the Northeast Tennessee College and Career Ready Consortium for $177.7 million, the LASER Model for sustainable science education for $67.4 million, and Scaling the New Orleans Charter Restart Model for $68.6 million. All 49 awards were Project Grants. Combined federal and non-federal dollars obligated totaled $1.97 billion, indicating substantial recipient and partner cost-share contributions alongside the federal investment.
The program has not issued new grant opportunities since the 2010 funding round and shows no recent activity. This is a closed or discontinued program; no current pursuit is viable unless a new solicitation is posted.
