THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, Education Equity, Racial Equity/Inequity, Education Research
Deadline: May 4, 2026
“The Racial Equity Research Grants program supports education research projects that will contribute to understanding and disrupting racial inequality in education and work to reimagine generative possibilities to advance educational equity, with budgets up to $75,000 for projects ranging from one to five years… We encourage a wide range of methodological approaches to creatively and ambitiously engage in advancing racial equity.
This program is “field-initiated” in that proposal submissions are not required to focus on a particular research topic, discipline, design, or method. We hope that scholars will identify the most compelling and needed areas of research. We are interested in proposals at all levels and in all settings of learning, including early childhood, higher education, and in schools, families, and communities across the world.”
