Spencer Conference Grants funding opportunity

Conference Grants for Advancing Education Research

The Spencer Foundation’s Conference Grant program is designed to provide support to scholars for small research conferences and focused symposia. The foundation is now seeking proposals from scholars whose interests are related to critical questions in the area of measuring educational quality and school improvement.

In developing a focused request for proposals about exploring various dimensions of educational quality, the foundation intends to encourage the research community to advance new and innovative research on this topic and to ultimately increase collaboration within the research community. We expect the field to propose research conferences that will spur robust exchanges leading to innovations in measuring educational quality and improvement in not only K-12 contexts, but also in early childhood education, out-of-school time programs, and post-secondary institutions.

Proposal deadline: 4 p.m. CST on Dec. 21.
