GRANT FOCUS: Education, Learning, Education Innovation, Child/Youth Development
Amount: $300,000 – $750,000
Deadline: Sept. 13, 2019
“[The initiative] invites applications from US-based teams of schools, support organizations and/or researchers who want to apply the science of learning and human development to improve existing school-based practices that develop self-direction and curiosity, specifically in adolescents (ages 11-18 years old). We are looking for practices that go beyond standalone interventions–and are integrated into the core structure(s) of the school model, including teaching and learning, school culture and climate, mentoring/advisory and/or professional learning.
Our goal for this funding opportunity aims to:
- Identify and improve school practices by leveraging the science of learning and human development, so that more teachers and schools have access to resources that help students build academic skills as well as competencies beyond academics; and
- Leverage various ways to integrate research and practice to accelerate the application of adolescent development knowledge to the design and practice of learning environments.”
Funder: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
Eligibility: “The organization receiving the grant must be a 501(c)(3) public charity, 501(c)(3) private operating foundation, governmental instrumentality such as a public school district, research university, or an organization with a public charity fiscal sponsor.”
