The Engaged Scholarship Research/Creative Activities Grants Program for Faculty and Staff is providing financial support that helps facilitate positive outcomes for both scholars and communities. Conducting scholarship that is mutually beneficial for both university scholars and communities is the very foundation of engaged scholarship. The Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC) Scholarship Committee welcomes the submission of domestic and international engaged scholarship project proposals.
The goals of the program are as follows:
- Increase faculty involvement in engaged scholarship
- Increase awareness of the wealth of engaged research/creative activities occurring at member universities
- Enhance the level and amount of engaged research/creative activities that occur at member universities
- Enhance the ability of ESC member faculty to conduct engaged interdisciplinary research/creative activities within and between member universities
Collaborative projects among faculty and/or staff from more than one discipline and/or at more than one university are encouraged. Funds may be used for faculty, graduate, undergraduate, community partner, and administrative stipends; supplies, materials, and expenses; and/or project-related travel (conference travel is not allowable).

Project Period: August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025
