Mission Fund

Mission Fund Committee

The NCME Mission Fund was established to provide a means for donors to express their tangible support for NCME’s mission to advance the science and practice of measurement in education, and to provide individuals and organizations with financial support for projects and research that address this mission directly.

Call for Proposals

For the current cycle, the Mission Fund is again offering grants for initiatives focusing on fairness, equity, and social justice in assessment in line with President Andrew Ho’s theme of continuity. We invite researchers and practitioners to contemplate ways that fairness, equity, and social justice can be included in the design, administration, analysis, interpretation, use, and consequences of educational assessment and measurement in either large-scale or classroom settings. Those interested are invited to submit project proposals that may directly address, but are not limited to, the themes below which have been developed in collaboration with the Committee on Diversity Issues in Testing (CODIT):

  • Social Justice at the Center of Assessment Design
  • Fairness and Equity in Validation, Reporting, and Consequences
  • Innovation in Service of Fairness, Equity, and Social Justice
