The U.S. Department of Education announced that $150 million will be available for the next round of Investing in Innovation (i3) grants to continue support for evidence-based practices in education. Individual school districts, groups of districts, and nonprofits in partnership with districts or a consortium of schools are invited to apply.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Award amounts have been adjusted to ensure that applicants have sufficient funding to carry out program goals while enabling the Department to fund as many high-quality applications as possible. Grants will be available within the same three categories as in round one:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Up to $25 million each will be available for Scale-up grants to applicants with the strongest evidence and track records of success;
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Up to $15 million each will be available for Validation grants to verify effectiveness for programs with moderate levels of evidence;
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Up to $3 million each will be available for Development grants to support new and high-potential practices whose impact should be studied further.<\/p>\n

Grant recipients will be required to secure private sector matching funds of 5%, 10%, or 15%, respectively.<\/p>\n

For the second round, the Department has included two new absolute priorities focusing on achievement and high school graduation rates in rural schools and promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. The three absolute priorities that remain from last year’s competition include, supporting effective teachers and principals, implementing high standards and quality assessments, and turning around persistently low-performing schools. All applicants must address one of these five key areas of reform.<\/p>\n

In addition, competitive preference will be given to grantees that demonstrate support for improving early learning outcomes, increasing college access and success, addressing the unique needs of students with disabilities and limited English proficient students, or improving productivity or technology.<\/p>\n

In round one, the i3 program received overwhelming interest from nearly 1,700 applicants. The Department awarded a total of 49 grants to a cross section of school districts and nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n

Applications are due on Aug. 2, 2011. Awards will be made no later than Dec. 31, 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n
