News and Announcements

This year, 10 proposals were selected for funding through the Outreach and Engagement Documenting Impact Grants process. Grants were awarded at a maximum amount of $10,000 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.

The Schweitzer Fellows Program supports and trains emerging health-focused graduate and professional students in creating and carrying out service projects to address unmet community needs. The Fellows conduct a one-year community service project of at least 200 service hours, with at least 100 hours involving direct client contact. Fellows partner with an existing community agency in the Columbus or Athens area and have both an academic and a community-based mentor.

Congratulations to the 16 faculty who have been named to the inaugural Engaged Scholars Academy cohort. The academy is a one-year, cohort-based leadership and professional development initiative that supports faculty at the ranks of assistant and associate professor in strengthening their engaged scholarship.

Congratulations to those selected for 2025-26 Graduate Student Engaged Scholar Seed Grants!
