Health + Humanities Community Connections: Faculty Grant
Up to three CAS faculty will be awarded Health + Humanities Community Connections Faculty Grants to support courses that include new community partnerships in health + humanities. Applications are open now!
Have you got a course that you’d like to connect to a community partner? Or a community partner with whom you want to develop a collaborative, course-based project? The Center for Community and Global Health has a funding opportunity!
With support from a Mellon Foundation grant, the Lewis & Clark College Center for Community and Global Health offers the Health + Humanities Community Connections Faculty Grant. This funding is intended for work that revises or expands an existing course in collaboration with a partner organization in Portland or the surrounding areas.
The Health + Humanities Community Connections Grant provides $4500 of funding to develop a course-based collaborative project with a community partner. Funds are shared between faculty and the community partner:
Faculty Member receives a $2000 grant. This money may be used to compensate for time and effort involved in creating a collaborative partnership, and for materials, equipment, transportation, or other course expenses.
Community Partner receives a $2500 grant. This money may be used to support the community partner’s participation in the project and to alleviate organizational barriers that hinder participation.
Up to three CAS faculty will be awarded this funding. Applications are open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
