THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth Inequality, Youth Outcomes, Research, Race/Ethnicity, Disadvantaged Youth
Deadline: Sept. 12, 2024
“The Institutional Challenge Grant supports university-based research institutes, schools, and centers in building sustained research-practice partnerships with public agencies or nonprofit organizations in order to reduce inequality in youth outcomes. We welcome applications from partnerships in youth-serving areas such as education, justice, prevention of child abuse and neglect, foster care, mental health, immigration, and workforce development. We especially encourage proposals from teams with African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian American members in leadership roles. The partnership leadership team includes the principal investigator from the research institution and the lead from the public agency or nonprofit organization.
Research institutions will need to address four important goals:
(1) Grow an existing institutional partnership with a public agency or nonprofit organization.
(2) Pursue a joint research agenda to reduce inequality in youth outcomes.
(3) Create institutional change to value research-practice partnerships within research institutions.
(4) Enhance the capacity of both partners to collaborate on producing and using research evidence.
