FOA-Racial
Equity Special Research Grants; June 2, 2021 (LOI)
Agency
Spencer
Foundation
Description
In
honor of the Spencer Foundation's 50th Anniversary, the Foundation has launched
The Racial Equity Special Research Grants program to support education research
projects that will contribute to understanding and ameliorating racial
inequality in education. We are interested in funding studies that aim to
understand and disrupt the reproduction and deepening of educational inequality in education, and which seek to remake and
imagine anew forms of equitable education.
Thus, we are also interested in research projects that are working toward
transforming systems by reimagining 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.
Our
goal for this 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 grant programs, this 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. We will be
accepting applications for projects ranging from one to five
years with budgets up to $75,000.
