The Engagement Scholarship Consortium has launched its 2025 Engaged Scholarship Research/Creative Activities Grants Program for Faculty and Staff, offering up to $5,000 for projects that bridge academic research with community needs.

The one-year grants aim to support faculty and staff at ESC member institutions in developing collaborative partnerships between universities and communities. The Scholarship Committee welcomes the submission of domestic and international engaged scholarship project proposals.

The application deadline is Feb. 9, with notifications planned for Feb. 28. The grant period runs from March 2025 through February 2026.

While grant recipients are not required to present their findings, they are encouraged to share their work at a future ESC conference.
