Abstract: The Investing in Innovation

Since this is a competitive program, the

which eligible applicants should receive 

a grant award. The Department will 

make three types of awards under this 

program: Scale-up Grants, Validation 

Grants, and Development Grants. These 

grants will provide funding to support 

local educational agencies (LEAs), and 

nonprofit organizations in partnership 

with one or more LEAs or a consortium 

of schools to apply for funding to 

expand and develop innovate practices 

that can serve as models of best 

practices; allow eligible entities to work 

in partnership with the private sector 

and the philanthropic community; and 

identify and document best practices 

that can be shared and taken to scale 

based on demonstrated success.
