<p><span>The program is designed to support rigorous evaluations of special education interventions (broadly defined as practices, programs, and policies) that state or local education agencies expect to produce meaningful improvements in student education outcomes for infants, toddlers, children, and youth with or at risk for disability within a short period (for example, within a single semester or academic year). These evaluations are to be conducted for $250,000 or less and completed within 2 years.
<p><span>The purpose of the Networks program is to focus resources and attention on education problems or issues that are high priority for the nation and to create both a structure and process for researchers who are working on these issues to share ideas, build new knowledge, and strengthen their research and dissemination capacity.
<p>Quadratec recognizes that our position as a leading aftermarket supplier for 4x4 vehicles – such as Jeeps – also gives us a responsibility to help support enthusiasts working towards improving our environment. By doing so, we believe all of us can positively influence a new generation of outdoor lovers, help keep our recreational facilities and trails free of litter, and promote a better understanding of what makes our environmental world tick.

<p>Trustees have identified K-12 education in the U.S. as their primary area of interest and fund projects that directly support building global perspectives in teachers and students. Proposals funded will advance the field or impact significant numbers of students. The foundation is interested in supporting activities that have other sources of funding and can demonstrate sustainability beyond the grant period. There are two relevant tracks to apply to: (a) Internationalizing Teacher Preparation and (b) Innovations in International Education.
<p>The annual Applied Research Competition is the most competitive line of funding we offer. Researchers can apply for 1-2 year grants of up to $30,000. Since 2002, we have proudly contributed more than $3.5 million in grants to support over 200 autism pilot studies. Our Scientific Council, augmented by highly qualified professionals from the autism community, select and fund the most promising research proposals through three rounds of review: pre-proposals, full proposals, and final selection.
<p>Eligibility Requirements -- Research project advances the Foundation’s interests in understanding programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality or improving the use of research evidence. Research project has compelling relevance for programs, policies, and practices affecting youth ages 5-25 in the U.S. Funds primarily support research activities, not intervention or service costs.
<p>The Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS), Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), invites proposal submissions from accredited U.S. post-secondary education institutions (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, public and private universities) and other U.S. public and private non-profit organizations (see Eligibility Information, section C) for the design and implementation of three Study of the U.S.
