The Spencer Foundation is seeking applications for its Large Research Grants on Education Program to support education research projects that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived.

They seek to support scholarship that develops new foundational knowledge that may have a lasting impact on educational discourse.

This program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not in response to a specific request for a particular research topic, discipline, design, method, or location.
