Faculty Diversity Research Grants
With the dismissal of the Geier v.
Tennessee lawsuit in September 2000, the Tennessee
Board of Regents has established a pool of funds to
support faculty research related to Diversity.
The program's goals are: (1) to
stimulate research on issues related to diversity
including policy and service; (2) to improve educational
research community's firsthand knowledge of the range of
inquiry related to diversity; and (3) to increase
understanding of the role of diversity in the education
enterprise and the global world in which institutions of
higher education must function while addressing the
intersection of educational policies, racial inequities
and immigration policy, particularly as they affect the
state of Tennessee.
The Office of Academic Affairs at the
Tennessee Board of Regents invites education policy- and
practice-related research proposals allied with
diversity. Research grants are available for faculty
at all Tennessee Board of Regents' institutions of
higher education.
Following is the Request for
Proposals. The deadline for submitting proposals
is January 30, 2008.
