AERA-IES Webinar: Writing an Application for an IES Grant
Instructors: Meredith Larson, National Center for Education Research
Joan McLaughlin, National Center for Special Education Research
Allen Ruby, National Center for Education Research
Date: Tuesday, July 24, 2012; 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm (Eastern Time)
This webinar provides instruction and advice on writing successful applications to the Institute of Education Sciences’ (IES) Education Research Grants program (84.305A) and Special Education Research Grants program (84.324A). Prospective applicants who have not received an IES grant should participate. This webinar covers the four sections of the research narrative (significance, research plan, personnel, and resources), focusing on (1) the content expected, (2) techniques to clearly explicate the content, and (3) ways to provide continuity throughout the narrative. Direct instruction on these topics will be accompanied by review of examples. Applicants will be able to ask questions about their specific research ideas. Participants are expected to be familiar with the IES Requests for Applications (see http://ies.ed.gov/funding/), to have the skills needed for such research, and to submit a research idea and sketch of a proposed project beforehand.
