Faculty and Staff Grants and Funding
Outreach and Engagement Grant Opportunities
As a land-grant institution, engaged scholarship is essential to the work of the university's faculty, staff and students. Ohio State is dedicated to extending research and creative expression beyond our campuses by engaging in partnership with communities - elevating the quality of life for the people of Ohio and beyond.
The Office of Outreach and Engagement is releasing a request for proposals to support program evaluation and impact reports for community-engaged research or community-engaged projects, in collaboration with a community partner, that addresses a specific need or problem within the community.

Engagement Scholarship Consortium Grants
Engaged Scholarship Research/Creative Activities Grants Program for Faculty
Conducting scholarship that is mutually beneficial for the university scholar and for the community is a topic of great interest to members of the Engaged Scholarship Consortium (ESC). The ESC Scholarship committee has been charged with the role of helping to facilitate this outcome for higher education faculty. In response to this need, a small grants program has been developed.
No indirect costs will be associated with this seed award.
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
