Workshops
10/24/24, Respectful and Responsible Broader Impacts: Meaningful Community Engagement in Federal Grant Projects, Transform Mid-Atlantic.
Increasingly, federal grants (especially from NSF) are requiring university-based researchers, faculty, and principal investigators (PIs) to invite community members into the overall grant project to help ensure that there is a strong connection between community-identified needs and the research process. Given that this is a major shift, and that many professors have not been trained on how to engage the community, there is a gap emerging in practice. Faculty are expected to find community partners, but it is not clear the quality of these connections. An emerging group of community engagement professionals on campuses have been leveraged to help faculty and PIs find community partners, but it sometimes is an after-thought and reflects a haphazard attempt to tack on community partners who were not a part of shaping the proposal.
This workshop seeks to answer the question: How can community partners more meaningfully be engaged in federal grant proposals that require community engagement? Becky Shearman, Program Director for NSF’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships will lead a discussion about how to make partnerships meaningful, respectful, and responsible. Drawing on her experience as a faculty member and an NSF Program Director, she will offer thoughts on how this work can successfully be done.
