Looks good, Heather. We're trolling some excellent bait, now let's see if the fish keep coming.

Dear Steering Committee members,

I’m writing to say thank you for the engaging and helpful conversation regarding Equitable Growth’s 2016 Request for Proposals and the direction of our grants program more generally. Attached, please find the final
 2016 Request for Proposals. We edited the second paragraph of the “Governance and Institutions” channel to indicate our interest in research on the effects of new forms of workplace organization. We also updated the information regarding the new processes
 and timelines for Academic and Doctoral applicants.

I’m also pleased to report that since our call, discussions with the Russell Sage Foundation have progressed. We will be sharing submissions this round in the hope of identifying strong projects of mutual interest
 for joint funding. We also just learned that the IRS approved our application for 501(c)3 status, which is good news.

I appreciate the time you took to advise us on the substance of this year’s RFP and tactics to make our grants program a success. I will keep you abreast of our progress. Also, please mark your calendars for the
 Equitable Growth meet-and-greet at the ASSAs on Saturday, January 3rd in San Francisco – details to come, we hope to see you there!

Best,

Heather
