Spencer Midcareer Grant applications due September 14, 2017

The Spencer Foundation is pleased to announce the 2017 award cycle of its grant program to enrich the work of academic midcareer scholars who are seven to twenty years post doctorate. This targeted program provides support for those who are interested in advancing their understanding of a compelling problem of education by acquiring new skills, substantive knowledge, theoretical perspectives or methodological tools. It is not intended to encourage researchers to abandon their existing area of expertise, but rather to build on, enrich, and extend that training with the acquisition of new methodological tools and/or perspectives about a subject to which they have been deeply committed throughout their academic career.

Through this program, we will provide grants of up to $150,000 to be undertaken during the 2018-2019 academic year. Proposals are due at 4:00 pm CDT on September 14, 2017.

More information about this program can be found on the Spencer Foundation website. Additionally, Spencer will be holding an information session for this program on July 25, 2017 at 11:00am CDT. To register for this session, click here to fill out the registration form.
