The mother of the murdered London teenager Stephen Lawrence is to be made a Labour peer, the BBC understands.
Doreen Lawrence has led a long campaign to find out what happened to her son, who was killed in a racially-aggravated attack in 1993.
Two men were eventually convicted of his murder in 2011.
The BBC's Danny Shaw said the nomination had been agreed by Labour leader Ed Miliband and put forward to No 10 in a list of recommendations.
Eighteen-year-old Stephen Lawrence was stabbed by a gang of white youths as he waited for a bus in south London.
An inquiry following the murder led the Metropolitan Police to be accused of institutional racism and found failings in how the force had investigated the crime.
Speaking earlier this month, in the wake of fresh allegations that officers had carried out a smear campaign against her family during the investigation, Mrs Lawrence said there were "still elements of racism within the police".
Leading public figures, including Mr Miliband, Prime Minister David Cameron and Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe attended a memorial service earlier this year to honour the black teenager.
Mrs Lawrence, a special needs teacher, founded the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust to promote a positive community legacy in her son's name.
The Evening Standard said Mrs Lawrence's name would be included in a list of new peerages expected to be announced on Thursday, entitling her to sit in the House of Lords.
Labour has not confirmed this would happen.
