Do you have a civic engagement or public outreach idea or have you been inspired by a process of civic engagement? Approach your fellow or another faculty mentor and ask if you can collaborate on a project that could be funded by this initiative. Projects can count as activities or be the foundation of Capstone projects!
Civic Engagement Discourse Fund Grants
IPCE announces the availability of funding to support events that facilitate public discourse on policy issues or the policy implications of university research.
Eligible events include public forums, dialogues, town hall meetings, and small conferences or workshops that are either open to the public or that target a specific audience such as policy advocates, residents of specific neighborhoods, or a subpopulation such as seniors or youth. All UIC faculty and staff of research institutes or centers are eligible to apply. IPCE Discourse Fund Awards are a maximum of $4,000 each. Events must be held by May 31, 2015.
Applications must be submitted electronically by September 19, 2014. More details including a full announcement, selection criteria, and application are available at www.ipce.uic.edu.
