Aim: The Spencer Foundation invests in education research that cultivates learning and transforms lives. Through the COVID-19 Related Research Grants, the foundation will support education research projects that will contribute to understanding the rapid shifts in education in this time of crisis and change. The call focuses on two primary categories of projects: First, studies that aim to understand and disrupt the reproduction and deepening of educational inequality caused by the COVID-19 crisis, and second, opportunities to remake and imagine anew forms of equitable education. Thus, the ultimate goal is funding research projects that are working to reimagine educational opportunities in these times. Proposals aimed at all levels and in all settings of learning, including early childhood, higher education, and in schools, families, and communities are welcome.

Proposals are accepted from the U.S. and internationally, however, all proposals must be submitted in English and budgets must be proposed in U.S. Dollars.
