FOA-Small
Education Research Grants; July 1, 2020
Agency
Spencer
Foundation
Description
The
Spencer Foundation, the only national foundation focused exclusively on
supporting education research, is currently inviting applications for its Small
Research Grants Program which provides support for education research with the
potential to contribute to the improvement of education, broadly
conceived.
Through
the program, grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded to academically rigorous,
intellectually ambitious, technically sound research projects. The program
supports proposals from multiple disciplinary and methodological perspectives,
both domestically and internationally, from scholars at various stages in their
career. Methodological diversity is welcomed in answering pressing questions,
and the foundation is open to projects that use a wide range of research
methods, including but not limited to quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods,
ethnographies, design-based research, participatory methods, and historical
research. The program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not
in response to a specific request for a particular research topic, discipline,
design, or method.
To
be eligible, principal investigators and co-PIs must have earned a doctorate in
an academic discipline or professional field or have obtained appropriate
experience in an education research-related profession. Applicants should be
affiliated with a nonprofit organization as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code such as a college,
university, school district, nonprofit research facility, or cultural
institution.
