Grants will support programs based at accredited American colleges and universities devoted to the co-creation of knowledge with diverse communities outside academia that have experienced staffing reductions related to pandemic conditions, programming setbacks, and/or loss of institutional capacity for publicly engaged work. Applications from programs based at minority-serving institutions, regional public colleges and universities, and community colleges are strongly encouraged.
