    The U.S. Department of Education announced the Postsecondary Success Recognition Program to acknowledge institutions promoting economic mobility through accessible education and support for completion of valuable credentials. This program requires state, local, and tribal governments to respond, estimating 150 annual responses and 1,500 hours of reporting. Additionally, new grant applications for fiscal year 2025 under the Institute of Education Sciences focus on transforming education through research. Two competitions are highlighted: one utilizing longitudinal data to address educational inequities, and another dedicated to innovative, scalable educational research solutions. Both programs emphasize partnerships with state educational agencies and other entities, adhering to nondiscrimination requirements. Following a review process, grants will award funding up to $1,250,000 for qualifying projects aimed at improving educational outcomes and access. This outreach aligns with federal efforts to expand high-quality charter schools, aiming to enhance opportunities for all students, particularly underserved populations, while promoting best practices and accountability in education. Applicants must follow specified guidelines and demonstrate the capacity for rigorous research to qualify for funding opportunities.
