Overview
The Evidence for Impact (EFI) grant represents our most targeted investment in addressing known research gaps in the high-dosage tutoring (HDT) evidence landscape yet. This highly selective opportunity will fund organizations ready to fill these HDT research gaps, with 2025-26’s grants focusing specifically on understudied populations, subject areas, and grade bands, as well as program design elements, and longitudinal outcomes that remain insufficiently studied.
Grant Details & Requirements
Grant funding up to $250,000 is available to support organizations with a commitment to rigorous research addressing one or more of our priority research areas that will provide tutoring or personalized instruction in reading and/or math to students during the school day in the 2025-2026 school year.
This round of grantmaking represents a maturation of Accelerate’s research agenda to build a more complete evidence base for high-dosage tutoring. By continuously addressing specific research gaps, we will support the generation of nuanced knowledge for the field about what works, for whom, under what conditions, and at what cost – enabling more informed policy and practice decisions that can benefit millions of students nationwide.
This grant cycle is closed.
