The Spencer Foundation is pleased to launch Conference Grant Program to provide support to scholars to organize small research conferences, focused symposia, or other forms of convenings around important issues in education research.
This program is intended to bring together researchers, community members, practitioners, policymakers, and other important collaborators whose expertise, substantive knowledge and practice, theoretical insight, or methodological expertise can be engaged in ways that help to build upon and advance education research.
They encourage applicants to think creatively about how convenings can expand their understanding of research methods and how new innovative research methods can impact educational research that is grounded in advancing racial equity.
They invite proposals that aim to think deeply and critically about the methodological traditions of education research, develop new innovative research methods or new applications of existing methods through interdisciplinary engagement, and/or collaborate to increase the application of critical research methods to broaden the impact of educational research on practice or policy. Importantly, they welcome proposals that advance conceptualizations of strength-based and systems transformation perspectives. Finally, they encourage applicants to carefully and innovatively think about the format and pedagogy of their proposed conference or convenings.
Proposals focused exclusively on professional development for teachers, faculty, or other education practitioners are not eligible for this grant program unless there is a clear and compelling research focus articulated by the principal investigator.
