The Spencer Foundation is committed to supporting high-quality investigation of education that advance educational improvement. The Research Grants program accepts applications that fit within its Areas of inquiry.

• Value:  Small Grant Proposal (up to $50,000US); Major Grant Proposal ($50,001 - $500,000US)

New revised Major Grants program will have substantial changes in both the application and selection process, as well as adjustments in award limits and application timetables, and new articulation of the work that can best advance the program’s aims.  

Field-Initiated Proposals:  The Foundation is alive to the possibility that someone may have a terrific idea for worthwhile research that does not fit easily into their broad Areas of Inquiry.
