Plan Ahead for January 2020

William T. Grant Foundation. Their mission is to support programs and research that focuses on reducing inequality amongst youth, whether inequality is on the basis of race, ethnicity, economic standing, language minority status or immigrant origins. What programs/ policies/ practices reduce inequality in academic, social behavioral and economic outcomes?

Develop a Letter of Inquiry as a first step towards working with WTG. A wealth of information about their mission and what they fund is on their website. Two funding categories:

Improving Use of Research Evidence
