Brady Education Foundation Research Project and Existing Program Evaluation Grants

About this program

The Brady Education Foundation funds Research Project and Existing Program Evaluation proposals that advance strength-based developmental and educational research for children from birth through age 18 and inform research, practice, philanthropy, or public policy. Projects may run up to three years, with awards generally capped at $125,000 annually for new-data studies and under $100,000 for secondary data analyses. Principal investigators must be researchers at a public or nonprofit private college/university or a large nonprofit research organization, and projects must be conducted in the United States through a nonprofit institution. Applicants must first submit an LOI, followed by invited Stage 1 and Stage 2 applications, and proposals should demonstrate rigorous, feasible methods, meaningful partnerships, and appropriate institutional documentation.
