The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) is offering up to £30,000 for groups of schools to carry out research into how best to reduce teacher workload.
It is particularly interested in ways to reduce workload related to marking, planning and resources, and data management.
This research will investigate current practices and develop long term solutions to better manage teacher workload.
The NCTL is also hoping that schools will develop tools and processes that could work as a form of recognition or accreditation for schools which are actively working to keep workload at proportionate and manageable levels.
England’s councils are warning of a "ticking time bomb" in the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, with new data showing deficits that could bankrupt local authorities within three years.

The Education Committee has published a letter to the Secretary of State for Education asking for more detail about the Department for Education’s work on developing its SEND reforms.
New analysis by NFER has highlighted the uneven distribution of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across mainstream schools in England.
