Greetings Colleagues, Just one to get in before the last weekend of the month and a brief reminder of other open funding opportunities. Brady Education Foundation Proposals for Program Evaluation Two Stage Application Process: Request Stage 1 Program Evaluation Application Form from BarbaraCrockett@BradyEducationFoundation.org<mailto:BarbaraCrockett@BradyEducationFoundation.org>. The Stage 1 proposal is due 8/1/2021. If accepted, you will receive notification by 10/15/2021 ; and will be asked to submit a Stage 2 proposal that will be due on 12/1/2021. http://bradyeducationfoundation.org/application-guidelines/ The Brady Education Foundation is currently accepting proposals focused on evaluating programs that have the potential of helping to close the opportunity and resulting achievement gaps associated with race and family income. Its primary aim is as follows. What works: The primary aim must concern evaluating the effectiveness of programs designed to promote positive cognitive and/or achievement outcomes for children (birth through 18 years) from underserved groups and/or low-resourced communities (specifically minoritized ethnic groups, low-income families) in order to inform ways to close the educational opportunity gaps associated with race and income. Secondary aims may also focus on one or more of the following: What works for whom, under what conditions: Investigate variations in program effects; that is, test for moderation effects that inform whether effects are stronger for certain groups and/or under certain conditions than other groups or conditions. Reasons for effects: Investigate mechanisms through which effects occur; that is, test for mediation effects that inform why the program is effective. Cost-benefit analyses: Compare the total costs of the program (start-up and ongoing operational costs) with its estimated monetary benefits to determine the net cost or benefit associated with the program.
