Dear Colleagues,

>
> Kay Courtade is a new grants administrator who will be working with
> Alterra Milone on the Education Department – Institute for Educational
> Science (ED-IES) research proposals. The next proposal deadline is April
> 19 for letters of intent (LOI) and June 21 for the final proposal. Although
> the LOI is optional, we encourage researchers to submit it when feasible
> because it helps ED-IES with planning the appropriate review process. The
> proposals are submitted by NBER electronically through Grants.gov, and we
> will do our best to make this an efficient process. The following links
> provide more information about the program:
> http://ies.ed.gov/funding/futureComp.asp and
> http://ies.ed.gov/funding/index.asp#current . A few additional points
> about this program:
>
> * Co-PI’s/Senior Investigators do not have to be
> NBER-affiliated; we can develop subcontracts with other institutions as
> needed.
> * RA’s can be from the PI’s/Co-PI’s home institution but usually
> can be funded via NBER.
> * For those who receive their summer support through NBER
> (including Co-PIs who are non-NBER affiliated), the pension contribution is
> equal
> to 20% of the salary amount being paid on the grant; and
> * NBER’s relatively low indirect cost rate of only 55% x salaries
> + fringe benefits frees up more funds for the project’s direct costs.
>
> Please contact Alterra (alterra_at_nber.org) or Kay (courtade_at_nber.org) me
> if you have any questions about applying to ED-IES via NBER.
