The W.T. Grant Foundation funds research that increases understanding in one of two focus areas:
- Programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in youth outcomes, and
- Strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth.
The William T. Grant Scholars Program supports career development for promising early-career researchers. The program funds five-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand junior researchers' expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas. Scholars Program applicants should have a track record of conducting high-quality research and an interest in pursuing a significant shift in their trajectories as researchers. Proposed research plans must address questions of policy and practice that are relevant to the Foundation's focus areas.
This is a limited submission opportunity and Harvard may put forward only one nominee from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. To determine if an internal competition is required, FAS faculty who wish to apply for this opportunity should send a brief expression of interest via email to Erin Hale at erin_hale@fas.harvard.edu no later than March 16, 2020.
