Grants on Reducing Inequality; August 4, 2020
Agency
William
T. Grant Foundation
Description
The
William T. Grant Foundation is inviting applications for its Research Grants on
Reducing Inequality program, which supports high-quality field-initiated
studies from a range of disciplines and methodologies relevant to policies and
practices that affect the lives of young people between the ages of 5 and 25 in
the United States.
Through
the program, grants of up to $600,000 over up to three years will be awarded in
support of research that aims to build, test, or increase understanding of
programs, policies, or practices that can reduce inequality in the academic,
social, behavioral, or economic outcomes of young people. Descriptive studies
that clarify mechanisms for reducing inequality or elucidate how or why a
specific program, policy, or practice operates to reduce inequality are
welcomed.
The
foundation prioritizes studies focused on reducing inequality on the basis of
race, ethnicity, economic standing, language minority status, or immigrant
origin. It also supports studies from a range of disciplines, fields, and
methodologies and encourages investigations into various systems, including
justice, housing, child welfare, mental health, and education. Competitive
proposals often incorporate data from multiple sources and often involve
multidisciplinary teams. In addition to financial support, grantees receive
significant time and capacity-building resources from the foundation. Projects
led by African American, Latinx, Native American,
and Asian Pacific American researchers are encouraged.
