Énoncé du programme
Le programme de subventions de partenariat recherche-pratique (RPP) est destiné à soutenir des projets de recherche en éducation qui s'engagent dans des partenariats collaboratifs et participatifs avec des budgets de projet allant jusqu'à 400 000 $ et des durées allant jusqu'à trois ans. Nous acceptons les formulaires d’intention de postuler une fois par an dans ce programme.
Nous considérons les partenariats comme une approche importante pour la génération de connaissances et l’amélioration de l’éducation, au sens large. Un travail de partenariat rigoureux est intentionnellement organisé pour impliquer diverses formes d'expertise et de perspectives, parmi les praticiens, les universitaires et les organisations, ainsi que les disciplines et les méthodes, dans la génération de connaissances autour de problèmes urgents de pratique et/ou de politique. En outre, les RPP peuvent faciliter l’accumulation à long terme de connaissances de nouvelles manières, à mesure que les chercheurs et les praticiens travaillent ensemble pour poser des questions pertinentes aux praticiens et aux politiques sur des sujets clés dans des contextes spécifiques au fil du temps. De nombreux problèmes clés de pratique et de politique sont historiquement saturés et nécessitent des perspectives multiples et un engagement à long terme si l’on veut qu’un changement durable et systémique se produise. À long terme,
Ce programme de subventions est ouvert aux partenariats existants entre chercheurs et un large éventail de praticiens. Par exemple, les praticiens peuvent travailler dans les districts scolaires, les bureaux d'éducation des comtés, les organismes éducatifs publics, les universités, les organisations communautaires et d'autres secteurs sociaux qui ont un impact significatif sur la vie des apprenants. En tant que tel, nous définissons les praticiens au sens large ; il peut s'agir de décideurs politiques, de prestataires de services extrascolaires et d'autres éducateurs informels, d'enseignants et de dirigeants de la maternelle à la 12e année, ou de familles et autres membres de la communauté. Nous sommes ouverts aux candidatures d’équipes de recherche basées sur la conception, de communautés d’amélioration en réseau, d’alliances de recherche basées sur le lieu et d’une multitude d’autres accords de partenariat.
Nous nous attendons à ce que les partenaires des RPP que nous finançons se soient engagés dans des collaborations fructueuses à long terme. La façon dont cette histoire est mise en évidence peut varier. Par exemple, les équipes peuvent avoir des antécédents de réussite, comme le démontrent des études de recherche en cours ou terminées, des solutions en cours, des relations de confiance établies ou des accords de partage de données, entre autres possibilités. Ce programme de subventions vise spécifiquement à renforcer la capacité des partenariats à apporter des changements pédagogiques. Une gouvernance efficace est un aspect clé des partenariats réussis et, à ce titre, toutes les propositions doivent préciser leurs structures de gouvernance et la manière dont le travail est développé conjointement, ainsi que la manière dont le pouvoir est partagé entre tous les partenaires. Comme indiqué, bien que ce programme de subventions soit ouvert à toutes les configurations de partenariat dans une gamme de contextes d'apprentissage, en plus des systèmes scolaires de la maternelle à la 12e année, nous encourageons particulièrement les candidatures de partenariats qui incluent des universitaires et des établissements d'enseignement supérieur, des zones géographiques rurales et dans des sites en dehors des États-Unis, ainsi que des partenariats qui engagent profondément les organisations communautaires et les familles.
Équité en matière d'éducation
Surtout, nous espérons que les partenariats mettront au premier plan les questions liées aux inégalités dans l’éducation et expliqueront comment leur projet vise à perturber la reproduction et l’approfondissement des inégalités. Nous accueillons les projets qui cherchent à briser les inégalités dans toute une série de dimensions, notamment (mais sans s'y limiter) la race, l'origine ethnique, la langue, la classe sociale, le sexe, l'orientation sexuelle, la nationalité, la géographie, les affiliations politiques, la religion et les (handicap) capacités.
Activités pouvant être financées
La recherche est fondamentale pour tout partenariat recherche-pratique, et nous nous attendons à ce que les activités de recherche soient l’élément central de chaque proposition. En plus de détailler un plan de recherche, les candidats doivent également donner la priorité aux plans de communication et de diffusion des principales conclusions et d'autres activités de partenariat importantes susceptibles de favoriser des changements éducatifs positifs.
Les catégories d'activités suivantes sont censées illustrer, mais non exclusivement, les activités complémentaires à la recherche qui pourraient être financées dans le cadre de ce programme. Nous espérons que les activités proposées seront étroitement liées au type et au contexte du partenariat, mais qu’elles auront également, à la base, le potentiel de contribuer à l’amélioration des pratiques et/ou des politiques éducatives au-delà du contexte spécifique dans lequel les universitaires et les praticiens travaillent.
Activités de recherche
Chaque proposition doit décrire les nouvelles recherches qui seraient lancées ou les activités de recherche existantes qui seraient élargies grâce à la subvention. Les exemples pourraient inclure des essais randomisés de nouveaux programmes d'études, des études participatives avec des co-chercheurs d'apprenants et de familles ; recherche basée sur la conception axée sur la pratique en classe des enseignants ; plaidoyer ou mise en œuvre de politiques ; cartographie des besoins avec les partenaires communautaires ; ou un travail descriptif approfondi axé sur une gamme de résultats d’apprentissage. Nous encourageons un large éventail de méthodes et d’approches de recherche.
Infrastructure de recherche
Les fonds peuvent être utilisés pour construire et maintenir les infrastructures nécessaires aux activités de recherche du partenariat. Ces besoins en matière d’infrastructure peuvent s’appliquer à l’ensemble des approches méthodologiques. Les exemples peuvent inclure le développement d'enquêtes, d'outils d'évaluation et d'autres instruments ; le développement de protocoles co-conçus ; et la maintenance des archives de données et des systèmes de mise en correspondance. De plus, les activités administratives concernant les données peuvent être soutenues par cette subvention. Celles-ci peuvent inclure l'élaboration de protocoles d'IRB et d'examen, la création de définitions de données standard, la conception conjointe de formulaires de consentement et l'élaboration de protocoles de sécurité et de confidentialité des données.
Sensibilisation, communications et établissement de relations
Les activités qui renforcent les relations de travail entre les partenaires et les autres parties prenantes constituent également une composante possible des projets. Les partenariats recherche-pratique réussis consacrent beaucoup de temps et d’attention à l’établissement et au maintien de la confiance entre les groupes de parties prenantes et au sein de leur partenariat. Les activités potentielles peuvent inclure la convocation de chercheurs, d'éducateurs, d'apprenants, de familles et d'autres participants pour co-concevoir un programme de recherche ; embaucher un spécialiste de la communication et/ou élaborer une stratégie pour communiquer les résultats de la recherche à des parties prenantes importantes ; soutenir le personnel des organisations partenaires dans la gestion des relations de partenariat ; et préparer des rapports de recherche et d'autres publications pour présenter le travail du partenariat au public.
Développement des capacités
De nombreux partenariats recherche-pratique cherchent à aider le partenaire de pratique à développer sa capacité à utiliser les preuves et les données de recherche dans sa prise de décision quotidienne. Les fonds pourraient être utilisés pour apprendre à mieux impliquer d’autres personnes dans la recherche, mener de meilleures pratiques ou des recherches axées sur les politiques, ou pour être mieux équipés pour communiquer les résultats de recherches complexes aux praticiens, aux familles, aux communautés ou aux décideurs politiques qui ne sont pas des partenaires principaux.
Nous voyons également l’importance de former la prochaine génération d’universitaires et de praticiens prêts à collaborer dans le cadre de partenariats pour améliorer la pratique, les politiques et la recherche. Nous encourageons les propositions qui incluent des fonds dédiés au développement des compétences et de l’expertise dans la conduite de recherches en partenariat pour les étudiants diplômés et les professionnels et chercheurs en début de carrière. Même si nous nous attendons à ce que la plupart des propositions incluent des fonds pour soutenir les étudiants diplômés dans le cadre du partenariat, les propositions pourraient inclure des plans de formation et d'éducation au-delà de cela. Les exemples pourraient inclure le développement d'un cours de méthodes de recherche axé sur les partenariats de recherche, la production de modules de formation en ligne, le développement d'ateliers pour accroître la capacité des chercheurs et d'autres partenaires à s'engager dans l'érudition publique,
Admissibilité et restrictions
Admissibilité
Les propositions au programme de partenariat recherche-pratique doivent concerner des recherches et d'autres activités visant à soutenir des partenariats de collaboration entre des chercheurs universitaires et un large éventail de praticiens de l'éducation.

Remarque : Si le chercheur principal ou le co-chercheur principal du côté pratique/politique du partenariat n'a pas de doctorat obtenu, il est censé avoir une expérience professionnelle appropriée pour assumer ce rôle au sein du partenariat. Bien que des étudiants diplômés puissent faire partie de l'équipe, ils ne peuvent pas être nommés chercheur principal ou co-chercheur principal sur la proposition.
Le chercheur principal doit être affilié à une organisation à but non lucratif ou à une institution publique/gouvernementale disposée à servir d'organisation administratrice si la subvention est accordée. La Fondation Spencer n'accorde pas de subventions directement aux particuliers. Les exemples incluent les collèges publics ou à but non lucratif, les universités, les districts scolaires et les centres de recherche, ainsi que d'autres organisations à but non lucratif avec une détermination 501(c)(3) de l'IRS (ou un statut à but non lucratif équivalent si l'organisation est en dehors des États-Unis).
Le chercheur principal associé à l'organisation administrant cette subvention pourrait être soit le praticien/décideur politique, soit le chercheur du partenariat. Au moins un Co-PI doit provenir de la ou des autres organisations membres.
Les propositions sont acceptées en provenance des États-Unis et du monde entier. Toutes les propositions doivent être soumises en anglais et les budgets doivent être proposés en dollars américains.
Restrictions
Le budget total du partenariat recherche-pratique est limité à 400 000 $, y compris jusqu'à 15 % de frais indirects .
La durée proposée de la subvention ne peut pas dépasser 3 ans.
Les chercheurs principaux et co-chercheurs ne peuvent détenir qu'une seule subvention de recherche active de la Fondation Spencer à la fois. (Cette restriction ne s'applique pas à l'organisation administrante ; les organisations peuvent soumettre autant de propositions qu'elles le souhaitent à condition qu'elles concernent des projets différents avec des équipes de projet différentes.)
Les chercheurs chercheurs et co-chercheurs ne peuvent pas soumettre plus d'une proposition de recherche à la Fondation Spencer à la fois. Cette restriction s'applique au programme de petites subventions, au programme de grandes subventions, au programme de subventions de recherche sur l'équité raciale et à ce programme de subventions de partenariat recherche-pratique. Si le chercheur principal ou l'un des co-chercheurs ont actuellement une proposition de recherche à l'étude dans l'un de ces programmes, ils doivent attendre qu'une décision finale ait été prise sur la proposition en attente avant de pouvoir soumettre une nouvelle proposition.

Ce document doit expliquer comment l'équipe travaillera ensemble pour atteindre les objectifs du partenariat, en soulignant la contribution de chaque membre de l'équipe au travail. Le cas échéant, veuillez discuter des opportunités d’apprentissage que les membres de l’équipe pourraient expérimenter grâce à leur participation à ce projet. Ce document ne doit pas dépasser 800 mots et le texte doit être à double interligne et en police de 12 points.
Annexes facultatives A : Si vous disposez de documents supplémentaires axés sur l'instrumentation scientifique pertinent aux activités de recherche, par exemple des protocoles d'entretien ou des instruments d'enquête, ils peuvent être téléchargés dans cette section de la candidature.
Annexes B facultatives : Si vous disposez d'autres documents justificatifs, tels que des lettres d'accord ou de collaboration, des protocoles d'accord (MOU), des accords de partage de données, une description des processus de gouvernance et d'autres documents pertinents, ils peuvent être téléchargés dans cette section du application.
Annexe C facultative : Approches innovantes en matière d'équité dans la recherche : Nous reconnaissons que les universitaires et les chercheurs ont continué à développer des approches innovantes pour mener des recherches de manière éthique et juste. Les chercheurs ont souligné que les propositions abordant ces questions de manière sophistiquée se heurtent souvent à des choix quant à la fourniture de détails dans leurs propositions. Ainsi, si vous le souhaitez , vous êtes invité à télécharger une annexe d'une page dans votre proposition de subvention, développez les structures théoriques, méthodologiques et de partenariat, ou d'autres dimensions que vous jugez pertinentes pour mener une recherche éthique et juste. Par exemple, si votre travail implique des jeunes, des familles ou des organisations communautaires, vous souhaiterez peut-être expliquer comment les dynamiques de pouvoir traditionnelles seront abordées. Ou, si votre travail implique des communautés autochtones, vous souhaiterez peut-être développer l'historique des dirigeants du projet et leur engagement avec les communautés autochtones, tout accord formel (par exemple, RIR tribal ou approbations) ou l'utilisation de méthodologies autochtones dans le projet. Ou peut-être travaillez-vous sur de nouvelles mesures quantitatives ou approches de modélisation qui bénéficieraient d’explications plus approfondies. Nous anticipons et accueillons un large éventail d’autres possibilités.
Remarque sur l'approbation de l'IRB : La preuve de l'approbation de l'Institutional Review Board (IRB) n'est pas requise au moment de la soumission de la proposition. Dans le cas où l'approbation de l'IRB est nécessaire pour ce projet et qu'il est choisi pour un financement, l'organisation administrante sera responsable d'obtenir l'examen et l'approbation de l'IRB conformément à ses politiques institutionnelles et à la loi applicable.
Resoumission : s'il s'agit d'une nouvelle soumission d'une proposition précédemment soumise à la Fondation Spencer, vous êtes invité à l'indiquer dans la candidature et à télécharger une explication d'une page sur la façon dont la proposition a été révisée.
Données du projet : dans la candidature en ligne, nous vous demandons de cocher les options appropriées en ce qui concerne vos activités de recherche dans le partenariat dans les catégories suivantes : perspective disciplinaire, méthodologies, sujets, portée géographique, contextes et participants. Ces informations sont utiles pour déterminer les évaluateurs appropriés pour votre proposition et pour les évaluations internes de nos programmes de subventions.

Program Statement
The Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) Grants Program is intended to support education research projects that engage in collaborative and participatory partnerships with project budgets of up to $400,000 and durations of up to three years. We accept Intent to Apply forms once a year in this program.
We view partnerships as an important approach to knowledge generation and the improvement of education, broadly construed. Rigorous partnership work is intentionally organized to engage diverse forms of expertise and perspectives, across practitioners, scholars, and organizations, as well as disciplines and methods, in knowledge generation around pressing problems of practice and/or policy. Further, RPPs can facilitate the long-term accumulation of knowledge in new ways as researchers and practitioners work together to ask practitioner- and policy-relevant questions on key topics in specific settings over time. Many key problems of practice and policy are historically saturated and require multiple perspectives and long-term engagement if sustainable and systemic change is to occur. Over the long term, we anticipate that research conducted by RPPs will result in new insights into the processes, practices, routines, and policies that improve education for learners, educators, families, communities, and institutions where learning and teaching happen (e.g., schools, universities, community centers, parks, museums, other workplaces).
This grant program is open to existing partnerships between researchers and a broad array of practitioners. For example, practitioners might work in school districts, county offices of education, state educational organizations, universities, community-based organizations, and other social sectors that significantly impact learners’ lives. As such, we define practitioners broadly; they might be policy-makers, out-of-school-time providers and other informal educators, K-12 teachers and leaders, or families and other community members. We are open to applications from design-based research teams, networked improvement communities, place-based research alliances, and a wealth of other partnership arrangements.
We expect the partners in the RPPs we fund to have engaged in fruitful long-term collaborations. How this history is evidenced can vary. For example, teams might have a track record of success as demonstrated by in-process or completed research studies, solutions-in-progress, established trusting relationships, or data-sharing agreements, amongst other possibilities. This grant program is specifically intended to build the capacity of partnerships to make educational change. Effective governance is a key aspect of successful partnerships, and as such, all proposals should specify their governance structures and how the work is jointly developed, as well as how power is shared, across all partners. As noted, while this grant program is open to all partnership configurations across a range of learning contexts, in addition to PreK-12 school systems, we especially encourage applications from partnerships that include scholars and institutions of higher education, rural geographic locations, and in locations outside of the United States, as well as partnerships that deeply engage community-based organizations and families.
Educational Equity
Importantly, we expect that partnerships will foreground issues connected to inequality in education and articulate how their project aims to disrupt the reproduction and deepening of inequities. We welcome projects that seek to disrupt inequities across a range of dimensions including (but not exclusive to) race, ethnicity, language, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, geography, political affiliations, religion, and (dis)ability.
Activities that May be Funded
Research is fundamental to every research-practice partnership, and we expect research activities to be the central element of every proposal. In addition to detailing a plan for research, applicants should also prioritize plans for communicating and disseminating key findings and other important partnership activities that have the potential to foster positive educational changes.
The following categories of activities are meant to be illustrative, but not exclusive, of activities in addition to the research that could be funded under this program. We expect proposed activities will be highly related to partnership type and context but will also, at their core, have the potential to make a contribution to improved educational practice and/or policy beyond the specific context in which scholars and practitioners are working.
Research Activities
Each proposal should describe new research that would be launched or existing research activities that would be expanded with the grant. Examples might include randomized trials of new curricula, participatory studies with learner and family coresearchers; design-based research focused on teacher classroom practice; policy advocacy or implementation; needs mapping with community partners; or deep descriptive work focused on a range of learner outcomes. We encourage a wide range of research methods and approaches.
Research Infrastructure
Funds may be used for building and sustaining infrastructure needs for the research activities of the partnership. These infrastructure needs may apply to the full range of methodological approaches. Examples may include the development of surveys, assessment tools, and other instruments; the development of co-designed protocols; and the upkeep of data archives and matching systems. Additionally, administrative activities concerning data may be supported by this grant. These may include developing IRB and review protocols, creating standard data definitions, co-designing consent forms, and developing data security and privacy protocols.
Outreach, Communications, and Relationship Building
Activities that strengthen the working relationship between partners and other stakeholders are also a possible component of the projects. Successful research-practice partnerships devote a great deal of time and attention to building and maintaining trust across stakeholder groups and within their partnership. Potential activities may include convening researchers, educators, learners, families, and other participants to co-design a research agenda; hiring a communication specialist and/or developing a strategy for communicating research findings to important constituents; supporting staff in the partner organizations to manage partnership relations; and preparing research reports and other publications to present the work of the partnership to the public.
Capacity Development
Many research-practice partnerships seek to assist the practice partner in developing capacity to use research evidence and data in their daily decision-making. Funds could be used to learn how to better engage others in research, conduct better practice or policy-driven research, or to be better equipped to communicate complex research findings to practitioners, families, communities, or policy makers that were not primary partners.
We also see the importance of developing the next generation of scholars and practitioners who are prepared to collaborate in partnerships to improve practice, policy, and research. We encourage proposals that include funds dedicated to the development of skills and expertise in conducting research in partnership for graduate students and early-career professionals and researchers. While we expect that most proposals will include funds to support graduate students as part of the partnership, proposals could include plans for training and education beyond that. Examples might include the development of a research methods course focused on research partnerships, the production of online training modules, the development of workshops to increase the capacity of researchers and other partners to engage in public scholarship, or the integration of research-practice partnerships in teacher or principal preparation courses.
Eligibility and Restrictions
Eligibility
Proposals to the Research-Practice Partnership program must be for research and other activities aimed to support collaborative partnerships between academic researcher(s) and a broad array of practitioner(s) of education.
Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs applying for a Research-Practice Partnership Grant are expected to have an earned doctorate in an academic discipline or professional field, or demonstrated professional experience appropriate for this program. Note: If the PI or Co-PI from the practice/policy side of the partnership does not have an earned doctorate, they are expected to have appropriate professional experience to serve in this role in the partnership. While graduate students may be part of the team, they may not be named the PI or Co-PI on the proposal.
The PI must be affiliated with a non-profit organization or public/governmental institution that is willing to serve as the administering organization if the grant is awarded. The Spencer Foundation does not award grants directly to individuals. Examples include non-profit or public colleges, universities, school districts, and research facilities, as well as other non-profit organizations with a 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS (or equivalent non-profit status if the organization is outside of the United States).
The PI associated with the administering organization for this grant could be either the practitioner/policymaker or researcher of the partnership. At least one Co-PI should be from the other member organization(s).
Proposals are accepted from the U.S. and internationally. All proposals must be submitted in English and budgets must be proposed in U.S. Dollars.
Restrictions
Research-Practice Partnership budget totals are limited to $400,000 including up to 15% indirect cost charges.
The proposed duration of the grant may not be longer than 3 years.
PIs and Co-PIs may only hold one active research grant from the Spencer Foundation at a time. (This restriction does not apply to the administering organization; organizations may submit as many proposals as they like as long as they are for different projects with different project teams.)
PIs and Co-PIs may not submit more than one research proposal to the Spencer Foundation at a time. This restriction applies to the Small Grants Program, Large Grants Program, Racial Equity Research Grants Program, and this Research-Practice Partnership Grants Program. If the PI or any of the Co-PIs currently have a research proposal under consideration in any of these programs, they are required to wait until a final decision has been made on the pending proposal before they can submit a new proposal.

Detailed guidelines are available within the application form.
Subcontracts: If your project will have subcontracts, a separate subcontract budget form will need to be completed for each. The subcontract form has the same categories and line item choices listed above.
Indirect Cost Charges (IDC): Budgets in this program may include 15% IDC (also known as overhead). Subcontract budgets may also include the 15% IDC, but should not be included in the main budget total when calculating the overall IDC for the project.
Proposal Narrative: We are looking for applications that make a persuasive argument for the value of your partnership and for why the proposed activities will strengthen the partnership and contribute to educational change. You are expected to upload a proposal narrative pdf that includes the following:
History, Background, and Context of Partnership
Describe the nature of your partnership, including but not limited to: who the key organizational players in the partnership are, the history of the partnership, its theory of change, central goals and achievements to date, how the partnership is governed, how educational equity is central to the partnership, and how you envision the partnership progressing over the next five to ten years or longer. We also expect the proposal to make a compelling argument for why your partnership is useful and how it adds value to (and also beyond) existing research in the field.
Proposed Activities
Research activities – Describe the activities you will undertake with support from the Foundation. A clear articulation of your research activities should be a central component of your proposal narrative. You may describe how funds will be used to strengthen ongoing research activities or enable you to launch new activities. Situate these research activities in one or more particular topic area(s) and explain how proposed activities will lead to knowledge generation that ultimately advances understanding of the issue(s) and leads to improved policy and/or practice. To make this argument, you may consider briefly describing existing research and gaps in that work, but we do not expect a full literature review.
Additional activities – In addition to research activities, you should describe how funds will support activities that fall under at least one of the three other categories: (1) research infrastructure; (2) outreach, communications, and relationship-building; or (3) capacity-building. We recognize that there may be activities that will advance your work that fall outside these categories. We will consider proposals that seek funds for other kinds of activities with a compelling rationale for their importance to your work.
When describing the research and other activities you seek support for, it is important to clearly specify what these activities are and explain why support for them is critical to advancing the work of the partnership and realizing its long-term potential. Also, describe how educational equity is central to the partnership’s activities.
The proposal narrative may not exceed 4500 words and at its conclusion, should include the word count in parentheses. Your reference list should follow your narrative in the same pdf file and will not count toward the 4500 word limit. The text should be double–spaced and in 12-point font, and your pdf should have page numbers. APA style is preferred.
Note: Tables and other figures can be included in the text of your proposal, where appropriate, provided they are used sparingly. The text contained in any tables and figures will not count toward the word limit. However, it is important that you describe or explain any tables or figures in the narrative portion of your proposal, which will contribute to your word count. Do not assume that tables and other figures are self-explanatory.
Partner Letter: A letter from the partner organization(s) to the administering organization submitting this application should be uploaded. This letter should describe the value of the partnership from the partner's perspective. If there are multiple partners, teams are able to upload multiple letters.
Project Timeline: The project timeline should indicate the proposed start and end dates of the partnership activities as well as key events and milestones. The major activities listed in the project timeline should be reflected in the proposal narrative. The project timeline may not exceed 1 page and the text should be in 12-point font. The proposed project duration can be up to 3 years.
Project Team: A document should be uploaded that identifies the roles, responsibilities and knowledge base of the key personnel involved in the partnership. The Principal Investigator should be associated with the administering organization for this grant, which could be either the practitioner or researcher of the partnership. At least one Co-PI should be from the other member organization(s). This document should articulate how the team will work together toward the goals of the partnership, highlighting what each team member will contribute to the work. When applicable, please discuss the learning opportunities team members may experience through their participation in this project. This document may not exceed 800 words and the text should be double–spaced and in 12-point font.
Optional Appendices A: If you have additional documents focused on scientific instrumentation relevant to the research activities, for example interview protocols or survey instruments, they can be uploaded in this section of the application.
Optional Appendices B: If you have other supporting documents, such as letters of agreement or collaboration, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), data-sharing agreements, description of governance processes, and other relevant documents, they can be uploaded in this section of the application.
Optional Appendix C: Innovative Approaches to Equity in Research: We recognize that scholars and scholarship have continued to develop innovative approaches to conducting research in ethical and just ways. Scholars have raised that proposals attending to these issues in sophisticated ways often face choices in providing detail in their proposals. Thus, if you so choose, you are invited to upload a one-page appendix in your grant proposal to elaborate on the theoretical, methodological, and partnership structures, or other dimensions you deem as relevant to conducting ethical and just research. For example, if your work engages youth, families, or community-based organizations, you may want to elaborate on how traditional power dynamics will be addressed. Or, if your work engages with Indigenous communities, you may want to elaborate on the project leadership’s histories and engagement with Indigenous communities, any formal agreements (e.g. Tribal IRB or approvals), or the use of Indigenous methodologies in the project. Or, perhaps you are working on new quantitative measures or modeling approaches that would benefit from further explanation. We anticipate and welcome a wide range of other possibilities.
A note about IRB Approval: Proof of Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is not required at the time of proposal submission. In the event that IRB approval is needed for this project and it is chosen for funding, the Administering Organization will be responsible for obtaining IRB review and approval in accordance with its institutional policies and applicable law.
Resubmission: If this is a resubmission of a proposal previously submitted to the Spencer Foundation, you are asked to indicate this within the application and upload a 1-page explanation of how the proposal was revised.
Project Data: Within the online application, we ask you to check off the appropriate options with regard to your research activities in the partnership in the following categories: disciplinary perspective, methodologies, topics, geographical scope, contexts, and participants. This information is helpful in determining the appropriate reviewers for your proposal and for internal evaluations of our grant programs
Signature from Authorized Representative of the Administering Organization: This section of the application details the steps necessary to obtain the authorized signature for your proposal through the Adobe E-sign process. You are required to provide the Signatory’s name, title, and email address; this is normally an administrative or financial person who has the authority to sign the proposal on behalf of your organization. Note: The signature process must be completed by noon on the deadline date. You, as the applicant, are responsible for making sure your proposal is signed by the deadline. Please account for the time it takes your organization’s authorized signer to review and sign proposal submissions. We recommend filling in the online application at least a week ahead of the deadline date. The Spencer Foundation is unable to accept late submissions.
Submit

Definition of research activities and tasks to be accomplished:
1. The tools consist of a triple survey of each population category mentioned above.
2. The survey of tourists (N=200) will seek to characterize the degree of knowledge that tourists have of the health issues of the territories they visit. The survey will also assess their readiness to change (what would they be willing to change in behaviour? according to what motivations, at what costs, etc.). Two modes of handover are envisaged (for a panel of 120 people minimum): one live during a field trip and the other via travelers' forums and private Facebook groups according to a methodology successfully tested as part of the doctoral program "Working in the countries of the sun"
3. The survey of workers in the tourism sector (N=100) will seek to characterize local health problems from a sample of workers integrating different types of jobs in the tourism sector (hotels, restaurants, leisure activities and excursions). A control group of workers from other economic sectors will be formed (farmers, workers, administrative employees, etc.). The handover will also be mixed: live on site and via professional discussion groups and forums according to a methodology that is also already proven.
4. The survey of decision-makers and management actors (owners, managers) will seek to estimate possible changes according to scenarios developed from the results of the first two surveys. This work will be based on about thirty interviews in direct handover vis-à-vis or video-communication (N = 30).

Offer Description
Rector
of the University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Wroclaw
announces an open competition for the POST DOC position - assistant professor in the group of research associates
in the Department of Genetics, Plant Breeding and Seeding
within the NCN SONATA 14 2018/31/D/NZ9/01452 project entitled:
"Variable electromagnetic field as a factor regulating gene expression in plants on the example of flax ".
Description of tasks in the position:
- analysis of transient transformants and transgenic plants (especially analyses of reporter system activity levels and oxidative stress analyses);
- subjecting plants to stress factors (biotic and abiotic) and subsequent analysis of these plants (including RT-PCR gene expression, free radical levels, reporter system activity, biochemical analyses);
- preparation of gene constructs for plant transformation;
- planning of experiments; analysis of results; interpretation, presentation and publication of research results.
Project Description:
The project is concerned with investigating how alternating low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) modifies gene expression in plants. In everyday life, ELF-EMF occurs around all electrical and electronic devices or power lines. Many organisms, due to their ability to move around, are locally and temporarily exposed to electromagnetic fields, while plants are not. This is particularly true for crop plants growing in the vicinity of electric power transmission networks or catenary networks (which just generate ELF-EMF). Since there are reports in the literature about the negative effects of electromagnetic fields on plant growth and development, research in this area seems justified. However, the results obtained so far mainly describe the effects of EMF on plant growth, development and physiology, while the mechanism of electromagnetic field action on plants itself remains unexplained.
The project is concerned with investigating how a low-frequency alternating electromagnetic field (EMF) modifies gene expression in plants. Identifying motifs in plant gene promoters that are elements of the plant response to EMF is the main goal of this proposal. The knowledge gained from this project will contribute to a better understanding of the regulation of gene expression in plants and a better understanding of potential modulators of plant growth and development.
Requirements for candidates:
- has a doctoral degree in biological sciences preferentially in biochemistry, biotechnology or molecular biology;
- demonstrates knowledge of techniques for working with plant in vitro cultures;
