Overview
<p><span>The purpose of the Networks program is to focus resources and attention on education problems or issues that are high priority for the nation and to create both a structure and process for researchers who are working on these issues to share ideas, build new knowledge, and strengthen their research and dissemination capacity. The ultimate objectives of the Networks are to advance the field's understanding of a problem or issue beyond what an individual research project or team is able to do on its own and to assist policymakers and practitioners in using this information to strengthen education policies and programs and improve student education outcomes. For FY 2017, the Institute invites proposals on two topics: (1) Exploring Science Teaching in Elementary School Classrooms (Science Teaching Network) and (2) Scalable Strategies to Support College Completion (College Completion Network).</span></p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p><span>Type of Award: Cooperative agreement.</span></p> Other Information:<p><span>For each network, the Institute will award up to one grant for a Network Lead that will coordinate network activities. Additionally, the Network Lead is expected to conduct research that complements the work of the Research Teams. Finally, the Network Lead is expected to play a lead role in communication of the network's findings, including hosting a website that describes the work of the network and makes the publications and products generated by the network available to the general public and organizing briefings for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and others who have a stake in the research. The Network Lead does not need to apply as a Research Team.</span></p>Last Updated:
