Major Research Grants on Reducing Inequality

This program focuses on funding research aimed at understanding and mitigating inequalities affecting young people aged 5-25 in the United States across various outcomes, including academic, social, behavioral, and economic areas. It supports research projects that explore effective ways to reduce these inequalities, including descriptive studies that examine mechanisms for inequality reduction, intervention studies, and investigations that enhance the measurement of inequality. The grant encourages studies from diverse disciplines, employing a broad range of methodologies, and examining different youth-serving systems such as justice, housing, child welfare, mental health, and education. Grant amounts range from $100,000 to $600,000 over 2-3 years, with the budget varying based on the project's scope, such as secondary data analysis or new data collection and experiments involving random assignments to different conditions.
