**DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Applications for New Awards;**  **Investing in Innovation Fund, Scale-Up Grants** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of Innovation and Improvement, Department of Education. **ACTION :**  Notice.

Overview Information

Investing in Innovation Fund, Scaleup Grants, Notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2012. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.411A (Scale-up grants). **DATES :** 

Applications Available: March 29, 2012.

Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: April 16, 2012. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: May 29, 2012.

Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: July 25, 2012. 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
