Decision Education Research Grants and Awards Program

Investing in building a knowledge base for the field of Decision Education

$12.5 Million to Support Research Efforts Related to Decision Education

The Alliance for Decision Education has received $12.5 million in philanthropic funding to support current and future research on Decision Education. Open to researchers of various disciplines, the Grants and Awards Program will propel research on decision-making skills in K-12 students, shaping a brighter future for all. We are thrilled to be embarking upon this crucial work and will be releasing applications for funding in the coming months.

The topic of Decision Education in K-12 classrooms should be on the mind of every parent, teacher, and local, state, and federal government official. This substantial investment in research will help the Alliance establish a knowledge base to understand and implement the most effective ways to bring Decision Education to K-12 classrooms.
