Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Institute of Education Sciences announced its FY27 grantmaking on August 6 — five competitions with an October 1 deadline, optional letters of intent September 3, and awards from $350,000 to $1.2 million. The bigger news is structural: IES has narrowed its research priorities to literacy and STEM for general education and four topics for special education through FY2029, and is organizing grantees into coordinated hubs. Here is what changed, what the award ceilings actually are, and why the field-initiated competitions everyone is waiting for do not open until December.

AAU member institutions are admitting smaller graduate cohorts than they did in 2024 or 2025, with downstream consequences for the biomedical workforce, lab continuity, and the foreign-student pipeline through 2030. Why the contraction is structural rather than cyclical, and what universities, PIs, and prospective trainees should be doing in the second half of 2026.
