The Next Generation School Improvement Grant (“Next Gen SIG”) is designed to provide funds to local education agencies (LEAs) that demonstrate a strong commitment to transforming the traditional educational experience into one that more strategically aligns to students’ academic and personal needs.
Next Gen SIG will provide grants on a competitive basis to support planning and implementation of transformational plans in one or more schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) and/or Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI). Next Gen SIG is distinct from prior school improvement grant programs that took a more programmatic approach to school improvement.
Next Gen SIG takes a systemic approach to school transformation meant to rethink and reconsider the fundamental structures that exist within underperforming schools to better meet student needs. This grant overview provides a detailed overview of the grant objectives, grant design, and application requirements. Interested applicants are encouraged to review this information carefully prior to applying.

Successful grantees will receive up to $300,000 in Planning Grant funds for academic year 1 and up to $3,000,000 million distributed over the remaining 3 academic years for implementation. Applicants will be asked to identify whether the proposal is designed to transform one school or strategically transform multiple schools within the LEA.
Next Gen SIG aims to encourage and support school transformation plans that: Engage and empower a school community (families, educators, community leaders, employers, etc.) to inform and influence the educational experience to align to student needs most effectively.
Rethink governance structures to shift authority over critical decision-making over time/schedule, personnel/human resources, fiscal/budget, and programs/curriculum down to the school community level.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students.

Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
