Social science research organization (1936-) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The William T. Grant Foundation is an American non-profit foundation that funds research in the social sciences, with a particular focus on reducing inequality in youth outcomes and improving the use of research evidence in public policy and practice settings.[1][2] It also funds career development and mentoring plans for post-doctoral researchers in a wide variety of disciplines through its William T. Grant Scholars Program. The Foundation's Institutional Challenge Grant encourages universities to support long-term research-practice partnerships with youth-serving nonprofit organizations, and its Youth Service Improvement Grants provide funding for nonprofit organizations to strengthen the quality existing programs for young people in New York City.[3]
