Apply for the Spencer Foundation Small Research Grants Program by June 1

The Spencer Foundation Small Research Grants Program supports education research projects that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived, with budgets up to $50,000 for projects ranging from one to five years. Applications are accepted three times per year.

This program is field-initiated in that proposal submissions are not in response to a specific request for a particular research topic, discipline, design, method, or location. Our goal for this program is to support rigorous, intellectually ambitious, and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing questions and compelling opportunities in education. Please review the program guidelines if you are interested in applying.

The Office of Research and Graduate Education pre-award team looks forward to working with interested faculty in preparing a submission for this project. Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education at your earliest convenience to begin the proposal preparation process.
