(FOA)-Program
Evaluations for Underserved Children Grants; April 1, 2020
Agency
Brady
Education Foundation
Description
The
Brady Education Foundation seeks to close the opportunity gaps between children
living in underresourced and/or underrepresented
communities and other children. To advance this mission, the foundation is
inviting proposals focused on evaluating programs with the potential to help
close the opportunity and resulting achievement gaps between children living in
underresourced communities and/or from
underrepresented populations and other children.
The
primary proposal aim must concern evaluating the effectiveness of programs
designed to promote positive cognitive and/or achievement outcomes for children
(from birth through 18 years of age) from underserved groups and/or
low-resourced communities (such as minoritized
ethnic group and low-income families). Secondary aims may also focus on one or
more of the following: investigate variations in program effects; that is, test
for moderation effects that inform whether effects are stronger for certain
groups and/or under certain conditions than other groups or conditions;
investigate mechanisms through which effects occur; that is, test for mediation
effects that inform why the program is effective; and compare the total costs of
the program (start-up and ongoing operational costs) with its estimated monetary
benefits to determine the net cost or benefit associated with the
program.
The
foundation will award support for up to two key personnel from the evaluation
team and one practitioner or service provider from the program to attend one
conference the last (or only) year of the project, with an allowable cost of
$1,500 per person. Projects may span up to three years.
Stage-one
proposals are due April 1. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to
submit a stage-two proposal due on August 1, 2020
To
be eligible, applicants must be a principal investigator with a nonprofit as a
home institution. Applicants at all career stages may
apply.
