education program evaluations – Apr 1
Posted by Brady Education Foundation on March 18, 2025
Brady Education Foundation invites applications for program evaluations
The Brady Education Foundation seeks to improve educational outcomes for children, including those living in low-income communities, and pursues its mission by promoting collaboration among researchers, educators, and other stakeholders.
The foundation invites applications for research project (RP) proposals and existing program evaluation (EPE) proposals.
The primary aim of EPE proposals must concern what works: evaluating the effectiveness of programs designed to promote positive cognitive and/or achievement outcomes for children (birth through 18 years.) Secondary aims may also focus on what works for whom, under what conditions: investigate variations in program effects; that is, test for moderation effects that inform whether effects are stronger for certain groups and/or under certain conditions than other groups or conditions; reasons for effects: investigate mechanisms through which effects occur; that is, test for mediation effects that inform why the program is effective; and cost-benefit analyses: compare the total costs of the program (start-up and ongoing operational costs), with its estimated monetary benefits to determine the net cost or benefit associated with the program.
The primary and secondary aims of RP proposals must focus on educational research that will inform future education research, practice, philanthropic funding, and/or public policy.
Stage-one proposals are due April 1, 2025, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a stage-two proposal, due August 1, 2025.
Applications will be accepted from universities and colleges (public or private) as well as nonprofit research organizations.
For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Brady Education Foundation website.
Deadline: April 1, 2025 (Stage-One Proposals)
