Equity-Centered Pipeline Initiative | Wallace Foundation Equity-Centered Pipeline Initiative Eight large school districts are exploring how to build principal pipelines that produce school leaders who can advance educational equity and lift student learning. Principal pipelines with features like rigorous job standards and high-quality pre-service training can produce school leaders who boost student learning.
That's what major research has found. But can these pipelines produce principals who foster educational equity as well? Eight large school districts around the country are trying to find out.
Each has developed a vision of what equity means to its schools. Each is also working to embed equity into the key components of what's known as a "comprehensive, aligned" principal pipeline. These pipelines are "comprehensive" because their parts cover the major actions districts can take to develop and support effective principals.
They are "aligned" because the parts reinforce one another. Several studies are in the works to examine the initiative. They include: A four-year exploration of the districts’ central offices.
Led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin in collaboration with researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Houston, and California State Polytechnic University-Pomona. A six-year examination of the initiative's implementation, including a tool to measure equity-centered leadership.
Led by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers working with researchers from UCLA; Teachers College, Columbia University; Brown University; the American Institutes for Research; and WestEd. A six-year research use and coordination study to design and build infrastructure to support research for equity-centered systems work. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado-Boulder, along with collaborators at Rice University.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
