Spencer Foundation Research-Practice Partnership proposals due Dec. 7

• Intent to apply deadline: Wednesday, Nov. 9
• Proposal deadline: Wednesday, Dec. 7

The 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. Intent to apply forms are accepted 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 learners, educators, families, communities, and institutions where learning and teaching happen (e.g., schools, universities, museums, and other workplaces).

Details about the program and application process can be found on the Spencer Foundation’s website. In addition, you may wish to view the RPP writing guide.

The Office of Research and Graduate Education pre-award team encourages you to contact us as soon as you decide you are interested in pursuing this opportunity.
