NCGE Miller Grants

The National Council for Geographic Education Research Committee will award grants in 2010 of up to $4,000 for projects lasting up to twenty-four months for research on issues related to geography education.  The Miller Research Grant program was established in 2004 though the generous donation of E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller.  It was created to further the mission of improving geography education in the United States. The grants are intended to advance the frontiers of geographic education by supporting and promoting innovative research in theory, practice, and application.  Projects should enhance the understanding of geographic learning and teaching through original investigations of learning processes, techniques, and content.  Projects may focus on geographic learning and teaching at any age level from pre-school to adult.  Applicants must be NCGE members.  Teachers, graduate students, faculty members, and researchers are eligible to apply.  For complete eligibility requirements and proposal guidelines, visit the NCGE website at www.ncge.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=3333.  The deadline for proposal submissions is March 16, 2010.
