Research Grants; March 1, 2021

Description
The
Spencer Foundation is accepting application for the Small Research Grants
Program. The program supports education research projects that will contribute
to the improvement of education, broadly conceived.
This
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. Our goal for this program is to support rigorous, intellectually
ambitious and technically sound research. We recognize that learning occurs
across the life course as well as across settings--from the classroom to the
workplace, to family and community contexts and even onto the playing field--any
of which may, in the right circumstance, provide the basis for rewarding study
that makes significant contributions to the field. We value work that fosters
creative and open-minded scholarship, engages in deep inquiry, and examines
robust questions related to education. To this end, this program supports
proposals from multiple disciplinary and methodological perspectives, both
domestically and internationally, from scholars at various stages in their
career. We anticipate that proposals will span a wide range of topics and
disciplines that innovatively investigate questions central to education,
including for example education, anthropology, philosophy, psychology,
sociology, economics, history, or neuroscience, amongst
others.
