Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The Investing in 

Innovation Fund (i3), established under 

section 14007 of the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), 

provides funding to support (1) local 

educational agencies (LEAs), and (2) 

nonprofit organizations in partnership 

with (a) one or more LEAs or (b) a 

consortium of schools. The purpose of 

this program is to provide competitive 

grants to applicants with a record of 

improving student achievement and 

attainment in order to expand the 

implementation of, and investment in, 

innovative practices that are 

demonstrated to have an impact on 

improving student achievement or 

student growth (as defined in this 

notice), closing achievement gaps, 

decreasing dropout rates, increasing 

high school graduation rates, or 

increasing college enrollment and 

completion rates. 

These grants will (1) allow eligible 

entities to expand and develop 

innovative practices that can serve as 

models of best practices, (2) support 

partnerships between eligible entities 

and the private sector and philanthropic 

community, and (3) support eligible 

entities in identifying and documenting 

best practices that can be shared and 

taken to scale based on demonstrated 

success. 

Under this program, the Department 

awards three types of grants: ‘‘Scale-up’’ 

grants, ‘‘Validation’’ grants, and 

‘‘Development’’ grants. The three grant 

types differ in the evidence that an 

applicant is required to submit in 

support of its proposed project; the 

expectations for ‘‘scaling up’’ successful 

projects during or after the grant period, 

either directly or through partners; and 

the funding that a successful applicant 

is eligible to receive. This notice invites 

applications for Scale-up grants. The 

notice inviting applications for 

Validation grants is published 

elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 

Register. The notice inviting 

applications for Development grants 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 24, 2012 (77 FR 11087) and 

is available at http://www.gpo.gov/ 

fdsys/pkg/FR–2012–02–24/pdf/2012– 

4357.pdf. 

Scale-up grants provide funding to 

‘‘scale up’’ practices, strategies, or 

programs for which there is strong 

evidence (as defined in this notice) that
