Spencer Foundation Seeks Applications From Midcareer Scholars

The Spencer Foundation is seeking applications from academic midcareer scholars for its Midcareer Grant Program.

The program provides support for a year-long program of study for scholars interested in advancing their understanding of a compelling problem of education by acquiring new skills, substantive knowledge, theoretical perspectives, and/or methodological tools. It is not intended to encourage researchers to abandon their existing area of expertise, but rather to build on, enrich, and extend that training with the acquisition of new methodological tools and/or perspectives about a subject to which they have been deeply committed throughout their academic career.

Grants of up to $150,000 will be awarded for projects focused on the exploration of an important problem, or set of problems, of education that is well aligned with the applicant’s core interests and past scholarship

To be eligible, applicants must be a faculty member or a research scholar who was awarded a doctorate within the last seven to twenty years.

An informational call will be held on June 10, 2016, at 11:00 p.m.. CT. Participation in the call is not required in order to submit a proposal; however, registration is required.

For complete program guidelines, an FAQ, information about registering for the info call, and application procedures, see the Spencer Foundation website.

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2016
