Grants on Race-Conscious College Admissions Ban

The Russell Sage Foundation, in collaboration with the Hewlett, Spencer, and William T. Grant foundations, invites research grants examining the effects of the 2023 Supreme Court decision banning race-conscious college admissions on educational attainment, economic mobility, and related outcomes. The initiative supports analyses using newly available data, novel uses of existing data, and original data collection, and encourages methodological variety and interdisciplinary collaboration. Projects may examine impacts across the pipeline from application and enrollment through degree completion and college-to-career transitions, as well as public attitudes toward race-conscious policies.

Researchers proposing innovative empirical analyses or original data collection on the effects of the Supreme Court decision on race-conscious college admissions; methodological variety and interdisciplinary collaboration are encouraged.

Applicants are directed to apply through the Russell Sage Foundation grant portal and follow the foundation's grant application requirements and deadlines.
