Cultivating New Voices among Scholars of Color Grant

The Cultivating New Voices among Scholars of Color program by the NCTE Research Foundation supports early career scholars of color through mentoring and networking over two years. It fosters research by integrating cultural perspectives, while providing a $1,200 stipend, and covering travel expenses to attend NCTE Annual Conventions and CNV Spring Institutes.

The NCTE Research Foundation’s Cultivating New Voices among Scholars of Color (CNV) program is designed to provide two years of support, mentoring, and networking opportunities for early career scholars of color. The program aims to work with doctoral candidates and early career postsecondary faculty of color to cultivate the ability to draw from their own cultural and linguistic perspectives as they conceptualize, plan, conduct, write, and disseminate findings from their research. The program provides socialization into the research community and interaction with established scholars whose own work can be enriched by their engagement with new ideas and perspectives.
Since 2000, CNV has supported more than 150 scholars/fellows of color across twelve cohorts. Participating fellows, working closely with an assigned mentor and other members of the cohort, investigate current issues in language, literacy, teacher education, English, and cultural studies.
Fellows accepted to the program receive the following during the two-year cohort:
a $1,200 research stipend to be used by the end of the two-year cohorttravel and expenses to attend the 2024 and 2025 NCTE Annual Conventiontravel and expenses to attend the 2025 and 2026 CNV Spring Institute
