Lyle Spencer Research Awards Letter of Intent deadline Feb. 27

The Lyle Spencer Research Awards Program supports intellectually ambitious research projects that aspire to transform education with budgets between $525,000 and $1 million and project durations of up to five years. The program accepts applications once per year.

A clearly articulated commitment to lasting improvement distinguishes the Lyle Spencer Awards from other research award programs. The program hopes to engage the research community in thinking big: to do work that is thoughtful, critical of prevailing assumptions, self-critical about the work and its limitations, and relevant to the aim of building knowledge for the “lasting improvement in education” that founder Lyle Spencer challenged his foundation to promote.
