Request a Grant Writer

Grants to USA nonprofit organizations, for-profits, IHEs, and Indian educational agencies for the professional development of educators. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended to increase the number of highly effective educators by supporting the implementation of evidence-based practices that prepare, develop, or enhance the skills of educators.

The SEED program is designed to foster the use of rigorous Evidence-Based practices in selecting and implementing strategies and interventions that support educators' development across the continuum of their careers (e.g., in preparation, recruitment, professional learning, and leadership development).

This competition includes two absolute priorities. Applicants may address only one absolute priority and must clearly indicate the specific absolute priority their project addresses. These priorities are:

Absolute Priority 1—Supporting Effective Teachers

This priority is for projects that will implement activities that are supported by Moderate Evidence. Applicants under this priority may propose one or more of the following activities:

Providing teachers from nontraditional preparation and certification routes or pathways to serve in traditionally underserved Local Educational Agencies (LEAs); or
Providing teachers with Evidence-Based professional enhancement activities, which may include activities that lead to an advanced credential.

Absolute Priority 2—Supporting Effective Principals or Other School Leaders

This priority is for projects that will implement activities that are supported by Promising Evidence. Applicants under this priority may propose one or more of the following activities:

Providing principals or other School Leaders from nontraditional preparation and certification routes or pathways to serve in traditionally underserved LEAs;
Providing principals or other School Leaders with Evidence-Based Professional Development activities that address literacy, numeracy, remedial, or other needs of LEAs and the students the agencies serve; or
Providing principals or other School Leaders with Evidence-Based professional enhancement activities, which may include activities that lead to an advanced credential.

Register Early – Grants.gov registration involves many steps including registration on SAM (http://www.sam.gov/) which may take approximately one week to complete, but could take upwards of several weeks to complete, depending upon the completeness and accuracy of the data entered into the SAM database by an applicant.

Note: If you registered in SAM prior to April 4, 2022, and submit your application before April 4, 2022, you must provide the DUNS number on your application that was used when you registered as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) on Grants.gov. To submit successfully beginning on April 4, 2022, you must provide the UEI on your application that was used when you registered as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) on Grants.gov. This UEI is assigned to your organization in SAM at the time your organization registers in SAM, when that registration occurs after April 4, 2022. If you do not enter the UEI assigned by SAM on your application, Grants.gov will reject your application.
