NIAE Grant Application Information
2024-25 CYCLE THEME:
Effective Teacher Retention Strategies for Nevada
The 2024-2025 NIAE Grant Program supports interdisciplinary research-practice-policy efforts that advance social justice and equitable access to education and wrap-around services for all students, families, communities, and educators at the local, state, national, and international levels.
The grant program provides funding from $2,500 to up to $25,000 for selected projects.
Additionally, it connects researchers with NIAE resources to develop research and project ideas (Idea Nursery), project exploration, project design, project execution/implementation, and dissemination and reporting. NIAE collaborates with research partners to identify and pursue additional funding opportunities for long-term research projects. Special priority is given to programs seeded through the NIAE Grant Program.
While the NIAE has an extensive focus area that supports education innovation in PK-20 and workforce development, the preferred grant topics may vary per cycle. Grants focusing on the particular cycle topic will take precedence over others, but researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that align with any of the NIAE goals:
-
- Identify, develop, and evaluate educator preparation practices in response to changing societal contexts.
- Produce the next generation of practices for education and educational services for children and families that yield significant educational, social, and other community-oriented outcomes.
- Develop scholarship and products (e.g., educator preparation materials, transferrable education interventions, and recommendations for policy and advocacy) that may be transferable to community-centered work designed to engage intersectional, diverse populations nationally and internationally.
The 2024-2025 NIAE Grant Program specifically targets identifying, developing, and evaluating innovative educator retention practices.
Eligibility
