The Spencer Foundation invests in research to improve education, broadly conceived. There is a critical need for innovative, methodologically and disciplinarily diverse, large-scale research projects to transform education systems for equity. Importantly, we believe that ambitious research must begin with the challenges, problems, and opportunities in education systems.

To stimulate research that addresses this need, the Spencer Foundation seeks to provide scholars and collaborators with the time, space, resources, and support to plan a large-scale study or program of research:

• Geared toward real-world impact on equity
• Based on research across disciplines and methods
• Reliant on meaningful and equitable collaboration with practitioners, policymakers, communities, and other partners
• Focused on transforming educational systems

Vision Grants are $75,000 total for a period of 6-12 months. Please review the program and proposal preparation details. If you are planning to submit to this opportunity, please contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education (OR&GE) pre-award team.
