Of the wide range of grant programs offered by the US Department of Education, a select few are targeted to university-based researchers. This session will focus on funding tracks within key DoE divisions such as the Institute of Educational Sciences (IES), the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII), and the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE).

Excerpts from successful proposals will be examined as models for preparing key sections. Topics to be covered include:
- Navigating the DoE grant process
- Deconstructing the Application Notice
- Organizing the proposal
- Understanding DoE grant review and selection criteria
- Writing critical proposal elements: Need for Project, Research Objectives, Quality of Project Design, Quality of Project Personnel, and Project Evaluation
