FOA-Racial
Equity Special Research Grants; December 15, 2020
Agency
Spencer
Foundation
Description
In
honor of its fiftieth Anniversary, the Chicago-based Spencer Foundation has
launched a Racial Equity Special Research Grants program to support education
research projects that can contribute to understanding and ameliorating racial
inequality in education.
The
foundation is interested in funding studies aimed at understanding and
disrupting the reproduction and deepening of educational inequality in
education, and that seek to remake and imagine new forms of equitable
education. It is also interested in research projects that aim to reimagine
educational opportunities in a multiplicity of education systems, levels,
settings, and developmental ranges and that reach beyond documenting conditions
and paradigms that contribute to persistent racial
inequalities.
The
foundation’s goal for the program is to support rigorous, intellectually
ambitious, and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing
questions and compelling opportunities in relation to racial equity in
education.
As
with other Spencer Foundation grant programs, the program is "field-initiated"
in that proposal submissions are not required to be developed around a
particular research topic, discipline, design, method, or geographic
location.
