Civic engagement research grants

Posted by on August 1, 2003

The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at the University of Maryland has posted its Request for Proposals for research on youth civic learning and participation.

CIRCLE supports research on the civic engagement of young Americans. CIRCLE funds research, not practice. However, all CIRCLE-funded research should have implications for specified categories of practitioners such as legislators, candidates, teachers, educational administrators, youth-serving organizations, journalists, professional associations, or nonprofits that work to encourage youth voting and political participation.

On July 29, 2003, CIRCLE announced three new Requests for Proposals (RFPs):

* Research on Civic Education

* Research on the Political Participation and Electoral Engagement of Youth

* Other Research on Youth Civic Engagement
