Some grants were given by the professor’s institution (e.g. The Faculty of Education
in Haifa University, The University of Georgia College of Education ATLAS Project,
Oklahoma State University Research Foundation), national foundations (e.g.
Australian Research Council, the National Science Foundation, Washington, DC), or
education agencies (e.g. St. Louis Public Schools Amount, Virginia Department of
Education, The United States Office of Education, Canadian Teachers’ Federation).
They also receive grants from foundations supporting various types of research (e.g.
Hemingway Foundation, Ford Foundation). This illustrates, in the author’s view, the
high value attached by foundations and academic institutions to the work conducted in
the field of EA. Spencer Foundation, for example, funded a research on productive
scholars in the field of EA, a grant that indicates the respect given by the academic
world to the field of EA.
