Washington Center for Equitable Growth Grant Program

Deadline: 02/07/2021

The Washington Center for Equitable Growth seeks to deepen our understanding of how inequality affects economic growth and stability. To do so, we support research investigating the various channels through which economic inequality, in all its forms, may or may not impact economic growth and stability.

Equitable Growth supports research inquiry using many different types of evidence, relying on a variety of methodological approaches and cutting across academic disciplines, including interdisciplinary studies. We are particularly interested in dimensions of inequality—race (see inset), ethnicity, gender, place, and environmental factors—as well as the ways in which public policies affect the relationship between inequality and growth.

Duration

1-3 years

Funding

Upper  $100,000USD Lower  $15,000USD

Academic grants are typically in the $25,000 to $100,000 range over 1 to 3 years. We frequently partner with other foundations to support projects jointly or to share proposals that are not a fit for our grant program, but which may be of interest to other funders.

Doctoral/postdoctoral grants are funded at $15,000 over 1 year.

Dissertation scholars are given an annualized $50,000 stipend and professional support and are expected to support Equitable Growth’s grant program. Dissertation scholars are given office space, although Equitable Growth is currently operating remotely due to the pandemic.

Eligibility
  1. Academic grants are open to researchers affiliated with a U.S. university. The affiliated university must administer the grant.
  2. Doctoral/postdoctoral grants are open to graduate students currently enrolled in a doctoral program at a U.S. university and to recent Ph.D. graduates currently in a postdoctoral position at a U.S. university. If you are currently a graduate student or in a postdoctoral position, you may choose to apply for either an academic or doctoral/postdoctoral grant, depending on the pool in which you’d like to compete. International students are eligible to apply, though if awarded, the grant would likely need to be administered through the university. International students are advised to communicate their intention to apply with their institution to ensure adherence to institutional protocol if funded.
  3. Dissertation Scholars program is open to predissertation scholars who are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program at a U.S. university and whose research aligns with Equitable Growth’s funding priorities.
