The Spencer Foundation has adjusted its Large Research Grants on Education program due to an unprecedented number of submissions. As a result, the application process now includes a pre-proposal stage, with the following key dates:
Pre-Proposal Deadline: June 17, 2025, by 12:00 PM (noon) CST
Full Proposal (by invitation only): September 30, 2025, by 12:00 PM (noon) CST
Key Information for PIs:
- Only PIs who submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) earlier this year are eligible to submit a pre-proposal.
- Pre-proposals must include a detailed budget. Therefore, all pre-proposals must be routed through DSP for review and submission.
- If your team submitted an LOI, please ensure a Capital Needs Form was also submitted.
OER is here to support you through this process. Please reach out with any questions or for assistance with your pre-proposal submission.
