Award Type(s): Research Grants/R & D
The sponsor provides support for research projects requiring more
than $40,000. Projects originate from research ideas initiated in the
field by scholars and other researchers. The sponsor will accept
preliminary proposals that fit within one or more of four areas of
inquiry: The Relation between Education and Social Opportunity;
Organizational Learning in Schools, School Systems, and Higher
Education Institutions; Teaching, Learning, and Instructional
Resources; and Purposes and Values of Education.
ELIGIBILITY
Principal Investigators applying for a Research Grant must be
affiliated with a school district, a college or university, a research
facility, or a cultural institution. The sponsor accepts proposals
from institutions and/or researchers from the U.S. and
internationally. Researchers must also have an earned doctorate in an
academic discipline or professional field or appropriate experience in
an education-related profession.
FUNDING
Indirect costs may not be charged to proposed budgets with less
than $50,000 in direct costs. For research grant proposals requesting
over $50,000, the Foundation will pay indirect costs equaling up to
fifteen percent of the direct costs of the proposed project.
Proposals exceeding $500,000 in direct costs require particularly
close scrutiny and are generally developed in close consultation with
Spencer staff prior to submitting a proposal.
