Reducing inequality in outcomes for our nation’s growing population of English-language learners will mean building capacity in under-resourced schools and districts. How can research light the way toward responses to this important challenge?

In June, 2016, the Foundation awarded six research grants that will build stronger theory and empirical evidence in our focus area of reducing inequality for youth 5 to 25. In addition, one grant was awarded to a William T. Grant Distinguished Fellow.

Just released, our 2015 Annual Report highlights notable work from the past year, including profiles of exemplary grantees from each of our programs and details about our ongoing efforts to identify responses to inequality and improve the use of research evidence.
