William T. Grant Foundation Invites Letters of Inquiry for Distinguished Fellows Program

The William T. Grant Distinguished Fellows Program is designed to increase the supply of, demand for, and use of high-quality research in the service of improved youth outcomes. To accomplish this goal, the program gives influential mid-career researchers the opportunity to immerse themselves in practice or policy settings and conversely gives influential practitioners and policymakers the opportunity to work in research settings. 

Deadline

The 2013 Distinguished Fellows Application Guide is now available. Letters of inquiry are now accepted three times per year, in January, April, and August. The next deadline is January 3, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. EST.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for consideration, applicants must:

• Be influential mid-career practitioners, policymakers, or researchers (see the Application Guide for definitions of terms);
• Submit a proposal that advances the William T. Grant Foundation's Current Research Interests; and
• Propose one or two tax-exempt private and governmental organizations that are willing to "house" and mentor the Fellow.
