Grant Details

• Type of grants: All grants are project grants with a work plan, a defined start and end date, and anticipated deliverables.
• Eligibility: Although these grants are primarily targeted for universities, any non-profit, for profit or governmental organization domiciled in a U.S. state, territory or possession may apply.
• Purpose: Grants are made for research, broadly defined, on the efficacy of teaching parenting and child development at the secondary level and for SEL in the early years.
• Maximum amount: For these introductory grants the maximum amount is the amount of the submitted budget up to $65000. Starting in 2025 or 2026 we expect to add investigational grants targeted for but not limited to researchers having successfully completed an introductory grant. We expect the dollar limit for such grants will be significantly higher.
• Indirect costs: Indirect costs up to a maximum of 10% of the total project cost are acceptable. Exceptions for higher amounts may be considered where the demonstrated logical cost allocation method results in such higher amount, providing the overall project budget remains cost effective.
• Two step process: Sharing your idea is a two-step process. After a preliminary submission, you will receive an early indication of interest before completing a final submission.
• Dissemination plans: Broad but realistic research dissemination plans are of interest. Such plans will likely include but not be limited to publishing the resulting research report.
• Additional consideration: Additional consideration may be accorded proposals with additional funding from outside Strengthening Future Families and those with a Social and Emotional Learning component. We are especially interested in proposals that include significant state or local government participatory partnerships.
Key dates: The next Idea submission deadline is: October 18, 2024 at 6:00 PM.
