TRAVEL FUNDS
The Council on Community-Based Partnerships provides travel support for the dissemination of community engagement research and scholarship.
CCBP ACADEMIC CONFERENCE, TRAINING, AND PRESENTATION SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SCHOLARSHIP
The purpose of this funding is to provide travel support for the dissemination of community engagement research and scholarship. Funding may also be used for relevant training opportunities. Engaged scholarship combines the familiar traditions of teaching, research, and service in equitable partnerships with communities external to the campus. These partnerships have a goal of creating sustained, positive change in both the community and the academy. Engaged scholarship is reciprocal and is conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect for, and understanding of, partners’ strengths, weaknesses and needs. The ideal engaged scholarship initiative involves faculty and students in partnership with a community entity or entities.
