Racial Equity Research Grants, Spencer Foundation
The Racial Equity Research Grants program supports education research projects that will contribute to understanding and ameliorating racial inequality 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.
Projects proposed may not be longer than 5 years in duration.
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. In this cycle of funding, we will continue to fund scholarship focused on a range of communities and issues with respect to equity. We encourage proposals from across the methodological spectrum, including qualitative methods, mixed-methods, and quantitative methods.
We want to especially encourage Racial Equity proposals that focus on the following areas:
(1) innovative forms of measurement and assessment,
(2) artificial intelligence (AI), and
(3) current political challenges in k-12 and higher education around diversity, equity, and inclusion.
HOW TO APPLY
The application process begins with an Intent to Apply form. Once submitted, you will automatically have access to the Full Proposal application in our online portal. Intent to Apply forms are due by 12:00pm Noon Central time, North America on the deadline date.
