Seacliff D (Hyatt Regency San Francisco)
Speaker/Presenter:
Kimberly Ann DuMont
Join the William T. Grant Foundation for conversation about its new funding opportunity on improving the use of research evidence.

The Foundation is interested in understanding how to create the conditions under which research is used. The new focus includes:

• Investigations to identify, create, and test the conditions that foster the use of existing research evidence.

• Studies to identify, create, and test the incentives and relationships that facilitate the production of research that responds to decision makers’ needs. 

• Studies that investigate whether and under what conditions using high quality research evidence improves decision making and youth outcomes.

Grants will range between $100,000 and $1,000,000.
