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, although we will accept off-cycle applications in rare cases.
Opportunities at Annenberg
The Annenberg Institute at Brown University offers funding support for doctoral students and faculty for research that helps equalize and improve educational opportunities for students across the country. We support cutting-edge research projects, efforts to bring researchers together to address pressing challenges, and direct engagement between researchers and practitioners to advance educational opportunity and equity. We are particularly interested in supporting projects that will seed or launch future efforts. We define education broadly and invite proposals from faculty and students across a range of disciplines and methodological approaches.
