Education Pioneers Impact Fellowship
“Normal” K-12 education wasn’t working for millions of Black and Latinx students, and other children from low-income communities. Data continue to reveal that the pandemic has impacted these students’ learning disproportionately – all while these students are more likely to have faced personal trauma and loss. Simply put: returning to what once was is not good enough; we must disrupt existing systems and create a more equitable future. In response to the urgency of our context, EP will scale up the Impact Fellowship–recruiting and developing 40+ diverse data analysts and strategic project managers to serve the education sector during the 2021-2022 academic year. New Impact Fellows will serve 10-month placements at school districts, charter networks, and other education organizations while also participating in a nationwide cohort for learning and connection.

Support for publication is a low priority, although it will be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or two. Endangerment is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in our funding decisions. Eligible expenses include consultant fees, equipment, travel, etc. Overhead is not allowed. Grants are for a one-year period, though extensions may be applied for. We expect grants in this round to be less than $4,000, and to average about $2,000.

Five postdoctoral scholarships will be given out per participating university for the 2021-2022 academic year in two tracks. Postdoc at an Israeli University Track: A two-year postdoctoral scholarship where scholars conduct research exclusively at one of 7 participating Israeli universities. If circumstances allow, Zuckerman Postdoctoral scholarship may be renewed on a competitive basis for an additional one or two year. Joint US-Israel Postdoc Track: A two-year joint postdoctoral scholarship where scholars spend half their time at one of 7 participating Israeli universities, and the other half at a US or Canadian university. Scholars in this track can decide how to divide their time.
