The Community Engagement Grant Program supports faculty research and teaching that extends our interests, expertise, and curiosity to community partners in San Diego and beyond. These grants are designed to encourage project-based collaborations that can address needs and issues in the external communities we serve, promote research into new areas and/or funding sources, and enable student learning outside the classroom.
Support funding from this program can be used for a variety of non-salaried expenses that enhance research and teaching partnerships with established community organizations or related entities. Initially, at least four grants of up to $2000 will be available. Eligible activities include (but are not necessarily limited to) travel, participant honorariums or stipends, and meeting costs. No salary support or release time may be funded with these grants.
