(FOA)-Institutional
Challenge Grants; September 10, 2020
Agency
William
T. Grant Foundation
Description
The
Institutional Challenge Grant encourages university-based research institutes,
schools, and centers to build sustained research-practice partnerships with
public agencies or nonprofit organizations in order to reduce inequality in
youth outcomes.
To
do so, research institutions will need to shift their policies and practices to
value collaborative research. They will also need to build the capacity of
researchers to produce relevant work and the capacity of agency and nonprofit
partners to use research.
Applications
are welcome from partnerships in youth-serving areas such as education,
justice, child welfare, mental health, immigration, and workforce development.
We especially encourage proposals from teams with African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian American members in
leadership roles. The partnership leadership team includes the principal
investigator from the research institution and the lead from the public agency
or nonprofit organization.
The
award will provide $650,000 over three years.
The
principal investigator should be a leader at the research institution. S/he
should have visibility, influence on institutional policies and practices, and
access to the resources needed to optimize and implement the award. S/he should
also possess the skills needed to cultivate trusting relationships with leaders
from the partner public agency or nonprofit organization and to ensure the
conduct of high-quality research.
