of the Institute of Education Sciences 

(IES) on the establishment of activities 

to be supported by the Institute, on the 

funding for applications for grants, 

contracts, and cooperative agreements 

for research after the completion of peer 

review, and reviews and evaluates the 

work of the Institute. At this time, the 

Board consists of ten of fifteen 

appointed members due to the 

expirations of the terms of former 

members. The Board shall meet and can 

carry out official business because the

1 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. to allow members to
