R3PEATS Rigor Scholar Cohort Awards (K12)

The NIH R3PEATS program is seeking up to four early‑career researchers to receive K12‑style Rigor Scholar Cohort Awards. Awardees will collaborate across institutions to develop, implement, and disseminate rigorous scientific practices—such as preregistration, blinding, randomization, and transparent reporting—within K‑12 education research settings. The program emphasizes multi‑institutional cohorts, shared procedural development, and the creation of reproducible research pipelines. Funding of $4.25 million total (approximately $1.06 million per award) is forecast, with awards expected to begin July 2028. • Supports early‑career investigators focused on rigorous scientific methods. • Multi‑institutional cohort model with national and local collaboration. • Emphasis on K‑12 education research, but open to a broad range of eligible entities (state, tribal, nonprofit, etc.). • Four awards anticipated; total estimated funding $4.25 M. • No explicit submission deadline; forecast dates indicate synopsis posting July 2027, application response October 2027, award July 2028.
