We have discontinued this program effective January 2023. We are no longer accepting new applications.

 

The Conference Grant Program provided support to scholars to organize small research conferences, focused symposia, or other forms of convenings around important issues in education research. This program was intended to bring together researchers, community members, practitioners, policymakers, and other important collaborators whose expertise, substantive knowledge and practice, theoretical insight, or methodological expertise can be engaged in ways that help to build upon and advance education research. Please see below for a list of recent awardees. These grants were awarded before we discontinued the program.
