Institutional Change Grant, Wm. T. Grant Foundation – May 11

Posted by William T. Grant Foundation on May 3, 2022

The Institutional Challenge Grant encourages university-based research institutes, schools, and centers to build sustained research-practice partnerships with public agencies or nonprofit organizations in order to reduce inequality in youth outcomes.

To do so, research institutions will need to shift their policies and practices to value collaborative research. They will also need to build the capacity of researchers to produce relevant work and the capacity of agency and nonprofit partners to use research.

Applications are welcome from partnerships in youth-serving areas such as education, justice, child welfare, mental health, immigration, and workforce development. We especially encourage proposals from teams with African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian American members in leadership roles. The partnership leadership team includes the principal investigator from the research institution and the lead from the public agency or nonprofit organization.

Register for the webinar, “Applying for the Institutional Challenge Grant: The Dean’s Role in Institutional Change,” May 11, 2022, 1:00-2:00 PM.

The online application will open on May 18, 2022. Applications are due by September 14, 2022 at 3pm ET.
