Other Information:

The Department’s Investing in Innovation (i3) fund supports the development of path-breaking new ideas, the validation of approaches that have demonstrated promise, and the scale-up of our nation’s most successful and proven education innovations. The Open Innovation Portal, available at http://innovation.ed.gov, provides a public forum for all who wish to participate in creating opportunities for partnership and local private and public funding – potentially multiplying many times over the federal funding opportunity. This web portal connects grant applicants, stakeholders, funders, and other participants to cultivate innovative ideas related to education. The portal allows the posting, commenting and scoring of ideas. It carries additional features such as inclusion of video clips, idea leaderboards and challenges from non-profit partners.
