Research and Innovation Grants
Funded by OSEP in Fiscal Year 2004

IDEA’s Research and Innovation program aims to produce and advance the use of knowledge to:

• improve services provided under IDEA, including the practices of professionals and others involved in providing services to children with disabilities, and



• improve educational results for children with disabilities.

Funding of IDEA's Research and Innovation grants is delegated to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), at the U.S. Department of Education. This NICHCY Web page will connect you to descriptions of projects that received Fiscal Year 2004 funds from OSEP under IDEA's Research and Innovation program.

These grants appear in Volume 1 of Discretionary Projects Supported by the Office of Special Education Programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Fiscal Year 2004: Research, Innovation, and Evaluation. (Note: This volume also includes projects funded under the Studies and Evaluations program, which is described online separately.)

Copies of Volume 1 are available from NICHCY while supplies last. We are also pleased to make this information available to you online.

We’ve grouped the projects funded under the Research and Innovation program within the competitions under which they were funded. Within each competition, projects are arranged in order from the earliest to the most recent.
