Chan Zuckerberg Initiative funding opportunity due Sept. 13

• Due date: Friday, Sept. 13

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) invites applications from U.S.-based teams of schools, support organizations, and/or researchers who want to apply the science of learning and human development to improve existing school-based practices that develop self-direction and curiosity, specifically in adolescents (ages 11-18 years old).

We are looking for practices that go beyond standalone interventions and are integrated into the core structure(s) of the school model, including teaching and learning, school culture and climate, mentoring/advisory, and/or professional learning.

The request for application packet provides program details. Interested parties must take an eligibility quiz before beginning the proposal process.

• Budget: Total costs for project should range from $300,000-$750,000 over 12 months or 24 months, starting in January 2020. Budgets should be inclusive of no more than 15% indirect/overhead costs.

Contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education if you are interested in this opportunity.
