Summary of changes:

- Education Policies, Finance, and Systems; Organization and Management of Schools and Districts; Education Leadership; and Analysis of Longitudinal Data to Support Education Reform – merged into Improving Education Systems: Policies, Organization, Management, and Leadership.
- Teacher Quality—Reading and Writing; Teacher Quality—Mathematics and Science Education – merged into Effective Teachers and Effective Teaching
- No Development and Innovation applications will be accepted for reading. The Institute is making a substantial investment in reading comprehension research through the Reading for Understanding Research Initiative (CFDA 84.305F) that was competed for in FY 2010. The Institute is limiting the types of applications that will be accepted under the Reading and Writing research topic in FY 2012.
- Reading applications are limited to Exploration, Efficacy and Replication, Scale-up Evaluation, and Measurement (i.e., no Development and Innovation applications).
- Applicants interested in research on improving writing may apply under any of the goals.
- Two previous research programs on Teacher Quality – Read/Write and Teacher Quality – Math/Science have been merged into a research program on Effective Teachers and Effective Teaching. Through this program, the Institute will support research on teacher professional development for reading, writing, mathematics, and science education. In addition, the Institute will support research on the recruitment, retention, and certification of teachers, as well as exploratory research on preservice training of teachers.
- The Institute has created a new research program – Improving Education Systems: Policies, Organization, Management, and Leadership. This program merges our previous research programs on Education Policies, Finance, and Systems; Organization and Management of Schools and Districts; Education Leadership; and Analysis of Longitudinal Data to Support Education Reform.
- Given the natural overlap in some issues pertaining to adult education and postsecondary education, we have combined these two topics to create a single research program on Postsecondary and Adult Education.
- The Institute has modified requirements for Exploration, Efficacy/Replication, and Scale-up projects.
- A third appendix (Appendix C) has been added so that applicants can include all letters of agreement.
