Hanover Research: Higher Education Programmatic Grant Alerts

Hanover is monitoring the evolving landscape of federal and foundation grants in light of the government shutdown and the presidential administration's priorities. Before applying to any federal program, be sure to check with your institution's grants office as well as the relevant program officer.

Below is a recap of programmatic funding opportunities that were recently announced, nationwide. While these alerts are intended to provide you with a broad-reaching overview of the opportunities available, we certainly want to hear if there are specific opportunities that you would like to pursue. Please let your Content Director know if you have any questions or are interested in learning more. 

Our Grant Alerts dashboard profiles relevant previously announced national-level funding opportunities, which can be sorted by type, agency/funder, and date. Also, your dedicated Content Director and Relationship Director are ready to help with custom research solutions to the challenges you are facing.

Grant Name: Aspen Institute, Pivotal: Workplace Innovation Now Challenge
Summary:  The goal of this RFP is to discover and scale bold ideas to help women thrive and everyone win in a rapidly changing workplace. The foundational vision is that when workplaces are designed with the needs of women in mind, they’re better places for everyone to work—and the benefits will be felt across communities and the economy at large. Supported by Pivotal, the $60 million grant competition aims to source and scale innovative solutions to address barriers like caregiving responsibilities and biases that tend to disproportionately impact women and are harmful for everyone. This is especially true at a time when innovative technologies, such as AI, are accelerating the pace of change within workplaces. 
Eligibility:  IHEs (among other entities) are eligible to apply.
Dates:  Online registration is due by December 11, 2025.
