Childhood obesity is a critical issue in the U.S., with Hispanic youth facing a higher prevalence than white youth by nearly 12%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Due to budget rescissions in some Arizona schools, there are fewer physical education teachers and limited academic time devoted to physical education and health.

<p>The Small Research Grants program is intended to support education research projects. In keeping with the Spencer Foundation’s mission, this program aims to fund academic work that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived. Historically, the work we have funded through these grants has spanned a range of topics and disciplines, including education, psychology, sociology, economics, history, and anthropology, and they employ a wide range of research methods.
<p>Background. Since 2002, the Organization for Autism Research has proudly contributed more than $3.7 million in research grants. OAR is currently accepting proposals for its 2019 Applied Research Competition.
<div>For the purposes of this solicitation, work is defined as mental or physical activity to achieve tangible benefit such as income, profit, or community welfare. The "future of work at the human-technology frontier" is, in turn, a conceptualization of work in the future that will be enabled or improved by advances in intelligent technology and their synergistic integration with human skill to achieve broad participation in the workforce and improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of society. To reach this goal, research is sought that is anchored in work.
<div>As a small foundation, the Longview Foundation must focus its resources in order to have impact.

<p>The Science of Learning program supports potentially transformative basic research to advance the science of learning. The goals of the SL Program are to develop basic theoretical insights and fundamental knowledge about learning principles, processes and constraints. Projects that are integrative and/or interdisciplinary may be especially valuable in moving basic understanding of learning forward but research with a single discipline or methodology is also appropriate if it addresses basic scientific questions in learning.
