Civic Engagement, Engaged Scholarship

Engaged Research Fund 2021-2022

The OSUN Engaged Research Fund, hosted by the OSUN Civic Engagement Initiative, invites applications for funding and research support for graduate students and faculty at OSUN partner institutions who are working to develop long-term, sustainable community partnerships as a central part of their research with a goal to develop shared knowledge about issues that align with OSUN priorities and themes.

The Engaged Scholar Award (ESA) is for graduate students pursuing research that integrates community engagement into new or existing scholarship. 
Award: $6,000

The Engaged Faculty Scholar Award (EFSA) is for faculty whose scholarship incorporates community-based research into new or existing research and supports sustained community partners as long-term collaborators.
Award: $9,000
