Education Innovation and Research (formerly i3) — CFDA 84.411

EIR obligations at $738,667,890.98

USAspending.gov records $738,667,890.98 in obligations under CFDA 84.411. One hundred one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $7,313,543 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical expansion-grant budget and not a cost per student. Other Department of Education innovation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $738,667,890.98.

The assistance-listing title is EDUCATION INNOVATION AND RESEARCH (FORMERLY INVESTING IN INNOVATION (I3) FUND). CFDA 84.411 is the identifier. Combining 84.411 with Education Research or Charter Schools codes would invent a combined innovation total this packet does not contain. Read the $738,667,890.98 as the obligation book tagged 84.411 only.

81 recipients in 35 jurisdictions

Eighty-one recipients share 101 awards, or about 1.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $738,667,890.98 evenly would assign about $9.12 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-project pattern: most named districts, nonprofits, and researchers carry a single large assistance row. The packet does not list the 81.

Thirty-five jurisdictions in the geographic count is a competitive-site map, not a 50-state formula. EIR dollars follow funded evidence projects, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of classrooms or evaluators.

Award rows are not an evidence census

Among Education listings, 84.411 is a low-row competitive file: 101 awards against 81 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of innovations” and a worse proxy for students reached. Recipients (81) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (101) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report What Works Clearinghouse ratings, effect sizes, or sample n. Citing 101 as proven programs would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $738,667,890.98 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus EIR outlays

The $738,667,890.98 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Education Innovation and Research awards — are not in the packet. A competitive file can show a large obligation stock while grantees draw across multi-year evaluation periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 84.411 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an evidence review, not a classroom inventory, and not a scale-up tracker. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $738,667,890.98. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 101 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 35 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of education-innovation funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to EIR grantees.
