E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller Grants for Research in Geographic Education

The Miller Grant program was established in 2004 though the generous donation of E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller. The program was created to further the mission of improving geography education in the United States. The grants are intended to advance the frontiers of geographic education by supporting and promoting innovative research in theory, practice, and application. Projects should enhance our understanding of geographic learning and teaching through original investigations of learning processes, techniques, and content. Projects may focus on geographic learning and teaching at any age level from pre-school to adult. Investigations concentrating on the micro-scale examination of individual learners and teachers are welcome as are studies that pursue issues of geographic education at the classroom, school, district, college, state, national, or international levels. A strong empirical focus is encouraged, especially projects that involve classroom-based research on learning and teaching and those that might improve the pre-service and in-service training of geography educators.
