Our mission at the American Institutes for Research® (AIR®) is to generate and use rigorous evidence that contributes to a better, more equitable world. In partnership with Ascendium, we are embarking on an initiative that promises to benefit the field of Higher Education in Prison through the release of open resources and opportunities for shared learning.
We have issued a Request for Proposals that invites Higher Education in Prison (HEP) programs to submit a proposal that addresses high-leverage technical assistance needs in the field. Selected grantees will engage in a dynamic community of practice that focuses on refining, scaling, and disseminating resources to the broader HEP field.
What Grantees/Recipients Will Deliver
Cohort grantees will:
• Generate Evidence -- Grantees will demonstrate the effectiveness of their resources within their unique contexts, contributing to fieldwide knowledge.
• Refine and Disseminate -- Resources will be refined for applicability in other contexts and will be shared with the broader field.
Please Join Us!!
We invite HEP program practitioners who are passionate about education equity to submit a proposal and be a part of our transformative journey. Your support is key. Together, we can unlock potential, foster equitable pathways, and create a brighter future for each learner.
The RFP is attached here. Please reach out to HEPResourceCohort@air.org with any questions. Stay tuned for updates, webinars, and opportunities to engage with us. For more information on the application process, click here.
Best regards,
The AIR Project Team:
