National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER)
Due Date: 9/8/2022
Description: In awarding the research grants, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) intends
to provide national leadership in expanding knowledge and understanding of (1) developmental
and school readiness outcomes for infants and toddlers with or at risk for a disability,
(2) education outcomes for all learners from early childhood education through postsecondary
and adult education, and (3) employment and wage outcomes when relevant (such as for
those engaged in career and technical, postsecondary, or adult education). The IES
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. These interested individuals include parents, educators, learners, researchers,
and policymakers. In carrying out its grant programs, IES provides support for programs
of research in areas of demonstrated national need. In awarding research training
grant programs, IES aims to prepare individuals to conduct rigorous and relevant education
and special education research that advances knowledge within the field and addresses
issues important to education policymakers and practitioners.
