Spencer Initiative on AI and Education

We will fund new research through two existing grant programs: Our Vision Grant Program and our Racial Equity Program. While these programs remain open to all topics, we have designated additional funds within each program for work focused on AI. We also welcome AI focused work across our entire portfolio of research grant programs, including our Small Research Grants on Education Program, our Large Research Grants on Education Program, and our Research-Practice Partnership Program. [...] The initiative will fund research on AI, education, and learning that supports equitable educational use, development, and understanding of AI technologies. We will also work to cultivate dialogue between researchers, the tech industry, policymakers, and education practitioners to enrich the collaboration and work happening across scholarly and other communities and to enrich public understanding around how AI technologies can support (or hinder) our equity aims.
