Dear Economics of Education Program members,
I am writing to draw your attention especially to the IES's most
recent call for proposals. See below. As you will recall from
discussions at recent program meetings, program members have been very
successful when seeking funding from IES. If you need an example of
recent successful proposals from program members, I can point you in
the right directions.
Also, please do consider working on an IES funding/approvals panel if
you are asked to do so.
Thanks to everyone who wrote back to me regarding the location of
future program meetings.
All good wishes,
Caroline Hoxby

Dear Colleague:
I am the program officer for the Institute of Education Sciences'
(IES) research programs on Education Leadership and Education Policy,
Finance, and Systems. This email is to inform you that IES has now
begun its research grant competitions for FY 2009. Within IES, the
National Center for Education Research is conducting several research
competitions that may be of interest to you. Descriptions of the
research programs listed below and the funding announcements are
available at http://ies.ed.gov/funding/ .
For FY 2009, IES invites applications for research projects that will
contribute to its Education Research (84.305A) programs in Reading and
Writing, Mathematics and Science Education, Cognition and Student
Learning, Teacher Quality-Reading and Writing, Teacher
Quality-Mathematics and Science Education, Social and Behavioral
Context for Academic Learning, Education Leadership, Education Policy,
Finance, and Systems, Early Childhood Programs and Practices, Middle
and High School Reform, Interventions for Struggling Adolescent and
Adult Readers and Writers, Postsecondary Education, and Education
Technology.
IES also invites applications for its two new competitions:
Evaluation of State and Local Education Programs and Policies
(84.305E) and Statistical and Research Methodology in Education
(84.305D) and for its Special Education Research program (84.324A).
Grant applications to IES competitions must be submitted via the
Grants.gov government-wide portal that allows potential applicants to
find grant opportunities and apply for grants. Grants.gov registration
information can be found at:
< http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp> . Please

Education Leadership Research Program
Through the Education Leadership research program, NCER supports
research to improve the quality of leadership and administration at
the local level (e.g., building, district, and region) in order to
enhance the teaching and learning environment for students and thereby
improve student outcomes. This program is intended to support research
on innovative approaches to the recruitment, retention, and training
of education leaders as well as the development and evaluation of
professional development programs for education leaders. Innovative
approaches to recruitment of education leaders includes alternative
pathways to school leadership that are designed to eliminate the
barriers that keep talented potential school leaders from joining the
profession and to provide the preparation and support necessary for
these leaders to effectively function in today's complex education
environment.

Education Policy, Finance, and Systems
Improving student achievement and educational attainment (e.g., high
school graduation, enrollment and completion of postsecondary
education) is a national concern. Through the Education Policy,
Finance, and Systems program, the Institute supports research to
improve student learning and achievement by identifying changes in the
ways in which schools and districts are organized, managed, and
operated that may be directly or indirectly linked to student
outcomes. Rather than improving student learning by changing directly
the curricula or instructional approaches, organizational and
management approaches are generally designed to change the structure
and operation of schools or districts in ways that may indirectly
improve the overall teaching and learning environment and lead to
increased student achievement.
