ET Frequently Asked Questions Can I submit or be named on multiple applications? We will not accept multiple applications from the same Principal Investigator. Can multiple teams from my organization/department submit applications?
Yes, we will accept multiple applications from organizations and departments, as long as they have different Principal Investigators. Can I apply if I am an independent researcher not affiliated with a university, non-profit research institution, or a school district? Yes.
Research must be conducted within the U.S., but there are no restrictions to affiliation. Keep in mind that you must be able to demonstrate your ability to comply with data security requirements and obtain IRB approvals, if applicable. Are my chances of getting funded better if I apply for a planning grant, a $50,000 research grant, or a large grant?
Can my application include personnel outside the U.S. (e.g., as a consultant or mentor)? We prefer that all researchers be located in the U.S. to avoid complicated international payments. Is international travel allowable (e.g., to international conferences)?
Yes, as long as the event is justified. Is there an overhead rate cap? Yes, the Gates Foundation limits overhead expenses to 15%.

pdf We anticipate opening another opportunity to join the AIMS EduData initiative in Q2 and Q3 of 2026. Can funds be used to compensate participants (e.g., teachers, students) for their time? Yes, although we expect that most research projects at the $50,000 or below level will primarily use secondary datasets.
Can projects be extended beyond the initial funding period? Are Letters of Support required from collaborators? Yes, collaborators (such as mentors or research assistants) should provide letters of support, including the level of effort they are prepared to commit.
What expenses are allowable for planning grants? Planning grants should be used to cover expenses directly related to proposal development. These expenses may include personnel time and travel to meet with potential partners.
We do not expect that conference attendance would be included in these expenses except under unusual circumstances (if you feel that attending a conference is important to your proposal development, please explain why). What type of “graduate student” is eligible to apply? Graduate students who are currently enrolled in doctoral programs are eligible to apply.
Do you have to apply through your institution’s office of research? No, though you’ll need to demonstrate the ability to access an IRB and meet data security requirements. To what extent does the curriculum vitae of the principal investigator influence your evaluation or decision-making process?
We would like to see evidence that you have the skills needed to do the proposed work, and a track record of related work that shows that skill. As noted, we encourage early career scholars to apply. To what extent must research questions align with the DLP's priority topics, and will the DLP provide support during the initial exploration of datasets (i.e., determining feasibility for analyses) if funded?
Your research questions do not necessarily need to align with the priority topics, if you have a very compelling idea. DLPs will be looking for ideas that could advance how their platform serves students. Attending a platform’s office hours is a great way to ask about alignment or request data from the DLP catalog.
Also for DLPs that provide a free, open-access system (e.g., Khan Academy), we recommend exploring it to get familiar with the platform. For the small grant research projects ranging from $10,000 - $50,000, will a researcher need to have an already existing partnership with a district or can the researcher plan to submit an application on their own?
No, you can submit an application for a small research grant without a district partner provided you the proposed project can be completed without district data. What are the key expectations for planning grants regarding deliverables and milestones? The expectation for planning grants is to develop a complete research proposal with a district partner letter of agreement in place.
Awardees will have three months to gain experience working with a DLP’s data set and develop a relationship with a school district. Winning a planning grant doesn’t guarantee access to the same funding source for a larger grant, but it helps build a foundation for pursuing bigger grants from various sources. Can conferences that fall outside the grant timeline be included in the budget?
Probably, although you would need confirmation from the DLP, if a grant is awarded. For more information, contact aimsedudata@digitalpromise. org .
