Through its National Center for Education Research (NCER), the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) supports a sustained program of research to build knowledge and understanding of education practice and policy. The program’s four intended outcomes are
1. Improved access to a high-quality education for all learners from early childhood through adulthood, particularly those at risk of failure
2. Improved academic achievement for all learners from early childhood through adulthood, particularly those at risk of failure
In this Request for Applications (RFA), IES invites applications for research projects that will contribute to its Statistical and Research Methodology in Education (Methods) grant program (CFDA 84.305D). IES’s mission is to provide rigorous evidence on which to ground education practice and policy and to encourage its use. The Methods program supports the development of a wide range of methodological and statistical products, including new or improved methods, guidelines and software, to better enable applied education scientists to conduct rigorous education research.
Through the Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Policymaking (Using Data) grant program, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) seeks to expand state education agencies’ use of their state longitudinal data systems (SLDS) to provide evidence for use when making policy decisions. State education agencies (SEAs) can apply for these grants, on their own or in collaboration with other organizations, to analyze the data in their own SLDS in order to examine long-term trends in key issues, programs, and policies affecting learner outcomes.
In this Request for Applications (RFA), IES invites applications that will significantly advance teaching and learning for students with disabilities from birth through postsecondary education. As an applied science agency, NCSER invites applications that address practical problems facing the education of children and youth with disabilities. We encourage applicants to propose new and different structures or ways of thinking about teaching and learning and the educational systems that support students.
Investigating the complex interactions between coastal processes, human dynamics, and the built environment requires a focused investment in novel, multidisciplinary science that engages a diverse group of local stakeholders. The goal of this program is to support Coastal Research Hubs, structured using a convergent science approach, at the nexus of coastal sustainability, human dimensions, and coastal processes to transform understanding of interactions among natural, human-built, and social systems in populated coastal environments.
Through the National Center for Education Research (NCER), the Institute of Education Sciences (Institute) provides support for programs of research in areas of demonstrated national need. The Institute's research grant programs are designed to provide interested individuals and the general public with reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning and improve academic achievement and access to education opportunities for all learners.

The Abe Fellowship is designed to encourage international multidisciplinary research on topics of pressing global concern. The program seeks to foster the development of a new generation of researchers who are interested in policy-relevant topics of long-range importance and who are willing to become key members of a bilateral and global research network built around such topics.
The Russell Sage Foundation’s program on Social, Political, and Economic Inequality supports innovative research on the many factors that contribute to social, political and economic inequalities in the U.S., and the extent to which those inequalities affect social, psychological, political, and economic outcomes, including equality of access and opportunity, social mobility, civic participation and representation, and the transmission of advantage and disadvantage within and across generations.
The Russell Sage Foundation's program on Behavioral Economics supports novel research that uses insights and methods from psychology, economics, sociology, political science and other social sciences to examine and improve social and living conditions in the United States. We seek investigator-initiated research proposals that will broaden our understanding of the social, economic and political consequences of actual behaviors and decisions.
