The Spencer Foundation Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) Grants Program is intended to support education research projects that engage in collaborative and participatory partnerships with project budgets up to $400,000 and durations of up to three years. Spencer accepts Intent to Apply forms once a year in this program.

Spencer views partnerships as an important approach to knowledge generation and the improvement of education, broadly construed. Over the long term, we anticipate that research conducted by RPPs will result in new insights into the processes, practices, and policies that improve education for students, educators, schools, universities, families, and communities. Please review the program website for complete details and proposal expectations.

Contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education at your earliest convenience if you plan to apply, and we will schedule a pre-award meeting.
