Doctoral Student Research Seed Funding
Annenberg provides small grants to doctoral students from across the University whose work centrally engages with education (writ large). Grants are typically up to $5,000 but can be larger in exceptional cases. Seed funding can support research, partnership, or dissemination efforts (e.g., conduct fieldwork, collect or purchase data, conduct exploratory research, travel for partnership work, summer funding, etc.). The goal is to seed and support empirical research in education. Applications will be accepted at three deadlines: April 1, September 1, and January 1. Preference will be given to existing Annenberg Doctoral Affiliates who engage actively in the Institute and to projects most directly tied to the Institute’s goals.
