Spencer Foundation Research-Practice Partnership LOIs due Nov. 10

The Spencer Foundation’s Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) Grants Program supports education research projects that engage in collaborative and participatory partnerships with project budgets up to $400,000 and durations of up to three years. The foundation accepts intent to apply forms once a year for this program.

• Intent to apply deadline: Wednesday, Nov. 10 by 1 p.m.
• Full proposal deadline: Wednesday, Dec. 8 by 1 p.m.

The Spencer Foundation views partnerships as an important approach to knowledge generation and the improvement of education, broadly construed. Over the long term, it anticipates that research conducted by RPPs will result in new insights into the processes, practices, and policies that improve education for learners, educators, families, communities, and institutions where learning and teaching happen (e.g., schools, universities, museums, other workplaces).

Details about the program and application process can be found on the program website. Please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education as early as possible if you are interested in pursuing this fellowship.
