Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Investing in
Innovation Fund (i3), established under
section 14007 of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA),
provides funding to support (1) local
educational agencies (LEAs), and (2)
nonprofit organizations in partnership
with (a) one or more LEAs or (b) a
consortium of schools. The i3 program
is designed to generate and validate
solutions to persistent educational
challenges and to support the expansion
of effective solutions to serve
substantially larger numbers of students.
The central design element of the i3
program is its multi-tier structure that
links the amount of funding that an
applicant may receive to the quality of
the evidence supporting the efficacy of
the proposed project. Applicants
proposing practices supported by
limited evidence can receive relatively
small grants that support the
development and initial evaluation of
promising practices and help to identify
new solutions to pressing challenges;
applicants proposing practices
supported by evidence from rigorous
evaluations, such as large randomized
controlled trials, can receive sizable
grants to support expansion across the
PO 00000

country. This structure provides
incentives for applicants to build
evidence of effectiveness of their
proposed projects and to address the
barriers to serving more students across
schools, districts, and States so that
applicants can compete for more
sizeable grants.
As importantly, all i3 projects are
required to generate additional evidence
of effectiveness. All i3 grantees must use
part of their budgets to conduct
independent evaluations (as defined in
this notice) of their projects. This
ensures that projects funded under the
i3 program contribute significantly to
improving the information available to
practitioners and policymakers about
which practices work, for which types
of students, and in what contexts.
The Department awards three types of
grants under this program:
‘‘Development’’ grants, ‘‘Validation’’
grants, and ‘‘Scale-up’’ grants. These
grants differ in terms of the level of
prior evidence of effectiveness required
for consideration of funding, the level of
scale the funded project should reach,
and, consequently, the amount of
funding available to support the project.
This notice invites applications for
Scale-up grants only. The notice
inviting applications for Validation
grants is published elsewhere in this
issue of the Federal Register. The notice
inviting applications for Development
grants was published in the Federal
Register on March 14, 2014 (79 FR
14486) and is available at https://
www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-03-14/
pdf/2014-05706.pdf.
Scale-up grants provide funding to
support expansion of projects supported
by strong evidence of effectiveness (as
defined in this notice) to the national
level (as defined in this notice). In
addition to improving outcomes for an
increasing number of high-need
students, Scale-up grants will generate
information about the students and
contexts for which a practice is most
effective. We expect that Scale-up grants
will increase practitioners’ and
policymakers’ understanding of
strategies that allow organizations or
practices to expand quickly and
efficiently while maintaining their
effectiveness.
All Scale-up grantees must evaluate
the effectiveness of the i3-supported
practice that the project implements and
expands. This is particularly important
in instances in which the proposed
project includes changing the i3supported practice in order to more
efficiently reach the proposed level of
scale (for example, by developing
technology-enabled training tools). The
evaluation of a Scale-up grant must
