he Stanford Accelerator for Learning encourages and enables scholars and students to seize new opportunities in data, technology, and the brain to improve learning outcomes, and therefore life outcomes.  We focus on learning challenges most in need of new discoveries, evidence, and solutions, and where we believe Stanford can make the most difference.

The Accelerator distributes two types of funds:

• Acceleration grants. These grants support research and design that demonstrate an early theory of impact. Grant funding is available for Stanford faculty, staff, and students. The initial stage of grant funding, centered around a theme, is referred to as “seed grants.” Our past and upcoming rounds of seed grants are detailed below.
• Learning Design Challenge awards. Students are eligible for funding in two stages ($1,500 Design Awards and $9,000 Research Awards) as part of the Learning Design Challenge course.

Stanford offers a bounty of internal funding opportunities to fund your research or other academic activities such as teaching and community engagement.

It’s not always apparent where they all are, or how to apply. Seed Funding aims to simplify the search for seed and other forms of internal university funding that support the work of Stanford faculty and other researchers by providing a place for the hundreds of Stanford units including research institutes and centers, departments, and programs where they can advertise their opportunities and manage review, selection award processes all in one place.

This service is part of a Dean of Research initiative to reduce the administrative burden incurred by faculty and their teams, and to afford them more time for our shared core mission of research and teaching.

What you’ll find on Seed Funding includes pretty much any internal grant or funding offered by any of the campus units. This includes course enhancements, pilot grants, training grants, seed grants, new ideas/proof-of-concept grants and community engagement.
