The William T. Grant Foundation is accepting applications from organizations looking to understand how youth settings work, how they affect youth development, and how they can be improved.

Grants of up to $600,000 will be awarded for research projects that address theory, policy, and/or practice affecting the settings of youth between the ages of 8 and 25 in the United States. Social settings are defined as the social environments in which youth experience daily life. This includes environments with clear boundaries such as classrooms, schools, and youth-serving organizations, as well as those with less prescribed boundaries such as neighborhoods or other settings in which youth interact with peers, family members, and other adults.

Deadline: May 6th, 2014
