The Russell Sage Foundation and the William T. Grant Foundation are requesting proposals for projects that investigate educational opportunity and success in the U.S. by utilizing data on academic achievement from the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA). The archive, constructed by Sean Reardon (Stanford University) and colleagues, contains data on the results of over 200 million standardized achievement tests taken by roughly 40 million public school students from 2009 to 2013.
RSF and W.T. Grant seek projects that use these data files in combination with other data sources to analyze the effects of different policies, practices, and social conditions on academic achievement gaps, or the effects of these achievement gaps on other outcomes. We are particularly, though not exclusively, interested in studies aimed at understanding how to reduce educational inequality and other subsequent forms of inequality. We strongly encourage applications from scholars who are underrepresented in the social sciences.
The deadline for proposals is
August 11, 2016, at 2 p.m. ET.
