Congratulations to our Vision Grant Awardees! Each team will receive up to $75,000 to collaboratively develop ambitious, large-scale research projects focused on transforming educational systems toward greater equity. This program takes as core that visionary, interdisciplinary, and collaborative research projects require time, space, and thoughtfulness to incubate and plan. In addition to those named in the proposals listed below, teams are partnering with a wide range of organizations to co-design their vision and projects. These include schools and districts, community-based organizations, higher education institutions, parent coalitions and a wide range of other organizations.
