Description

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education, is soliciting applications for Phase One of its From Seedlings to Scale program, focused on Coordinating Systems to Translate Evidence into Policy and Practice. Projects should develop and rigorously test innovative AI- or technology-enabled approaches that help education leaders integrate evidence-based products, processes, and policies to improve prekindergarten through grade 12 student outcomes. Solutions should address complex, system-level implementation barriers and support leaders in aligning resources and anticipating the effects of potential changes. Phase One projects have a maximum duration of one year and a maximum award of $500,000. Applicants must propose work that includes an early-stage prototype, a proof-of-concept report, and an R&D plan for potential Phase Two work. The application requires a project narrative of no more than eight pages, a required Appendix F addressing alignment with SEER 27, a project summary, bibliography and references cited, and biographical sketches and current and pending support for key personnel. A human-subjects narrative is required if the proposed Phase One work involves human subjects. Applications are submitted electronically through Grants.gov.
