Through the Research Training Programs in the Education Sciences Grant Program, IES aims to prepare individuals to conduct rigorous and relevant education research that advances knowledge within the field and addresses issues important to education policymakers and practitioners.
Under this competition, NCER will consider only applications that address one of the following topics:
• Early Career Development and Mentoring Program for Education Research
• Pathways to the Education Sciences Training Program
• Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Research Training Program in the Education Sciences
• Methods Training for Education Researchers
Deadline: March 7, 2025
a) Eligible Applicants
The applicant must be an academic institution located in the territorial United States that confers doctoral degrees in academic fields relevant to education.
An academic institution may receive no more than one IES-supported Predoctoral Training Program grant at a time. Therefore,
• IES will not accept FY 2025 Predoctoral Training Program applications from institutions that received a FY 2020 Predoctoral Training grant award.
• Should an academic institution submit more than one application, IES will contact the academic institution and the institution will choose which application will be peer reviewed. Should multiple applications from a single academic institution be identified after peer review and if more than one application from the same institution is recommended for funding, IES will determine which will be funded.
