Funding-William T.
Grant Foundation - Distinguished Fellows Program; January 6, 2015
Description
The William
T. Grant Foundation's Distinguished Fellows Program is
designed to increase the supply of, demand for, and use of high-quality
research in the service of improved youth outcomes. To accomplish its goals,
the program gives influential mid-career researchers the opportunity to immerse
themselves in practice or policy settings and gives influential practitioners
and policy makers the opportunity to work in research settings.
To
that end, the program encourages mid-career researchers to submit proposals
that are designed to deepen their understanding of policy processes and
practice settings. The program also invites policy makers and practitioners to
propose projects that will enhance their capacities to recognize and use
high-quality research.
Proposed
fellowships must fit the Grant Foundation's research interests. The foundation
currently supports research to understand and improve the everyday settings of
youth in the United States. Specifically, the foundation funds studies that
enhance the understanding of how youth settings work, how they affect youth
development, and how they can be improved; and when, how, and under what
conditions research evidence is used in policy and practice that affect youth,
and how its use can be improved.
