Program Description:

Aligned with the Trump Administration’s focus on educational excellence and opportunity, the Education Innovation and Research (EIR) Program provides funding to:

create, develop, implement, replicate, or take to scale entrepreneurial, evidence-based, field-initiated innovations to improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students; and
rigorously evaluate such innovations.

The EIR program is designed to generate and validate solutions to persistent educational challenges and to support the expansion of innovative solutions to serve larger numbers of students. This program supports engagement by helping to scale and sustain initiatives at various stages that improve student outcomes. The EIR is established under section 4611 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

There are three types of grants under this program:

"Early-phase" grants,
"Mid-phase" grants, and
"Expansion" grants.

These 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.

Rural Career Pathways White Paper
The United States Department of Education's Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant program supports several grantees exploring innovative rural career pathways for students, navigating complex approaches to employment opportunities. This area warrants additional attention. Rural career pathways offer students a clear progression from an area of interest to exact coursework requirements for high school graduation and then to subsequent employment or postsecondary enrollment. enrollment. These students are provided with an opportunity to obtain a set of skills, experiences, or credentials that can result in employment in their current rural area if they choose. This paper addresses three areas related to rural career pathways: (1) components of successful career pathways, (2) factors that set rural schools apart and support a place-based approach, and (3) current promising interventions for rural career pathways.

- Covid-19: A Look at How EIR-Funded Projects Are Supporting SEL Needs of Students and Teachers and Mediating Learning Gaps
  Covid-19 has significantly impacted our world in numerous ways. In 2021, two EIR competitive preference priorities were issued to address the impact of Covid and promote equity in Pre-K-12 education. This webinar is a first look at what a few of these grantees have been working on over the past year. Presentations and conversation with the grantees focus on how they are conceptualizing their work, how they are addressing Covid recovery, and how they believe their innovation will make an impact. Addressing Covid recovery can include a focus on learning gaps in student education or the social and emotional needs of students and teachers. Both areas of interest have been substantially impacted by routine changes related to Covid safety procedures. Slides
- Connecting Theory to SEL Practice: A Conversation to Understand How Practitioners Tailor Local SEL Initiatives and Interventions | Presentation
  In this interactive conservation, we bring together a panel of SEL experts, current EIR grantees who are leading innovation in the SEL domain, and attendees to explore existing SEL theoretical frameworks and whether they provide the flexibility necessary to contextualize SEL interventions and programs so researchers and practitioners can equitably assess what works for whom, why, and in what context in education. By engaging in a peer discussion about how SEL-related theories connect with SEL practices, attendees will share the role of theory in their work, learn about the challenges their counterparts face when determining how practitioners utilize SEL theoretical frameworks in their practice, and deepen their understanding of how to leverage theory in practice to improve implementation strategies and measurement tools in the field.

    This webinar illustrates how and why designing, implementing, and evaluating high-quality SEL programs with a lens of equity and inclusion is imperative to realizing the promise of SEL programs in supporting students' social, emotional, and academic well-being, and how this lens of equity can help mitigate some of the inequities experienced within the educational system. After sharing findings from the white paper Designing and Implementing Social Emotional Learning Programs to Promote Equity, two EIR grantees share their projects and describe how they designed equity-focused SEL programs. Dr. Kirkland then addresses the core components of equity-centered SEL programs and the need for collaborative practices that frame diversity as an asset.
- Webinar: Rediscovering Professional Learning: Creating Engaging and Meaningful Professional Learning in Virtual Settings | Slides
  One challenge of the COVID pandemic was shifting in-person professional learning for teachers to an online or virtual setting as many programs were developed for in-person learning. This webinar shares promising practices from two EIR grantee projects which successfully transitioned professional learning to an online format. The facilitator and grantees engage in a discussion on what online/virtual PD can look like, format considerations, and when virtual PD is most effective. The conversation focuses on the core elements of successful and engaging online professional development, the most effective on-line learning formats, such as shifting from full in-person to asynchronous and hybrid learning option, and the unintended positive outcomes of shifting to virtual PD."
