Procuring grant funding and conducting special projects in geographic education forms a strong component of Grosvenor Center research and activity. The Center seeks to collaborate with other interested organizations and individuals in this process. Current grant funded projects include the History and Geography Project and the Geography Summer Academy for Minority Scholars.

The History and Geography Project, funded by a grant from the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, set out to develop a curriculum framework that offers teachers the opportunity to teach a traditional U.S or World History course that is enriched by a consistent injection of the geographical aspects that interact with the important historical people, events, and ideas.
