The foundation seeks to support innovative research on the aftermath of the 2023 Supreme Court decision striking down race-conscious college and university admissions policies. The initiative focuses on ways to promote educational attainment and economic mobility among racially, ethnically, and economically diverse groups following the court’s ruling that the declared that use of race-conscious admissions policies violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and was, therefore, unconstitutional.
The foundation is particularly interested in analyses that make use of newly available data or demonstrate novel uses of existing data. RSF also supports original data collection, such as surveys, field or survey experiments, in-depth qualitative interviews, and ethnographies.
