data. (i) Why each proposed baseline is
valid; or (ii) if the applicant has
determined that there are no established
baseline data for a particular

why there is no established baseline and
of how and when, during the project
period, the applicant would establish a
valid baseline for the performance
measure.
(3) Performance targets. Why each
proposed performance target is
ambitious yet achievable compared to
the baseline for the performance
measure and when, during the project
period, the applicant would meet the
performance target(s).
(4) Data collection and reporting. (i)
The data collection and reporting
methods the applicant would use and
why those methods are likely to yield
reliable, valid, and meaningful
performance data; and (ii) the
applicant’s capacity to collect and
report reliable, valid, and meaningful
performance data, as evidenced by highquality data collection, analysis, and
reporting in other projects or research.
All grantees must submit an annual

SUMMARY:
applications for fiscal year (FY) 2023 for
the EIR program—Early-phase Grants,
Assistance Listing Number 84.411C
(Early-phase Grants). This notice relates
to the approved information collection
under OMB control number 1894–0006.
DATES:
Applications Available: May 25, 2023.
Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply:
June 22, 2023.
Deadline for Transmittal of
Applications: August 1, 2023.
Deadline for Intergovernmental
Review: October 2, 2023.
Pre-Application Information: The
Department will post additional
competition information for prospective
applicants on the EIR program website:
https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-ofdiscretionary-grants-support-services/
innovation-early-learning/educationinnovation-and-research-eir/fy-2023competition/.
ADDRESSES: For the addresses for
obtaining and submitting an
application, please refer to our Common
Instructions for Applicants to
Department of Education Discretionary
Grant Programs, published in the
Federal Register on December 7, 2022 (7
FR 75045), and available at https://
www.federalregister.gov/documents/
2022/12/07/2022-26554/commoninstructions-for-applicants-todepartment-of-education-discretionarygrant-programs. Please note that these
Common Instructions supersede the
version published on December 27,
2021.
Purpose of Program: The EIR program,
established under section 4611 of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act, as amended (ESEA), provides
funding to create, develop, implement,
replicate, or take to scale
entrepreneurial, evidence-based (as
defined in this notice), field-initiated
innovations to improve student
achievement and attainment for highneed students and to rigorously evaluate
such innovations. The EIR program is
designed to generate and validate
solutions to persistent education
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
challenges and to support the expansion
of those solutions to serve substantially
more students.
The central design element of the EIR
program is its multitier structure that
links the amount of funding an
applicant may receive to the quality of
the evidence supporting the efficacy of
the proposed project, with the
expectation that projects that build this
evidence will advance through EIR’s
grant tiers: ‘‘Early-phase,’’ ‘‘Mid-phase,’’
and ‘‘Expansion.’’
‘‘Early-phase,’’ ‘‘Mid-phase,’’ and
‘‘Expansion’’ grants differ in terms of
the level of prior evidence of
effectiveness required for consideration
for funding, the expectations regarding
the kind of evidence and information
funded projects should produce, the
level of scale funded projects should
reach, and, consequently, the amount of
funding available to support each type
of project.
Early-phase grants must demonstrate
a rationale (as defined in this notice).
Early-phase grants provide funding for
the development, implementation, and
feasibility testing of a program, which
prior research suggests has promise, for
the purpose of determining whether the
program can successfully improve
student achievement and attainment for
high-need students. Early-phase grants
are not intended simply to expand
established practices or address needs
that are unique to one particular
context. Rather, the goal is to determine
whether and in what ways relatively
new practices can improve student
achievement and attainment for highneed students.
This notice invites applications for
Early-phase grants only. The notices
inviting applications for Mid-phase and
Expansion grants are published
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register.
Background:
While this notice is for the Earlyphase tier only, the premise of the EIR
program is that new and innovative
educational programs and practices can
help to overcome the persistent and
significant challenges to student
success, particularly for underserved
and high-need students. Raise the Bar:
Lead the World is the Department’s call
to action to transform prekindergarten
(pre-k) through grade 12 education and
unite around what truly works by
promoting academic excellence, boldly
improving learning conditions, and
preparing of our Nation’s students for
global competitiveness. Consistent with
that call to action, the priorities used in
this competition advance Raise the Bar’s
goals to promote academic excellence
and boldly improve learning conditions.
