Community-Based Research Fellows Program
Community-based research is defined as "a partnership of students, faculty, and community members who collaboratively engage in research with the purpose of solving a pressing community problem or effecting social change" (Community-Based Research and Higher Education, Strand et al., 2004, p.3)
This program supports teams of faculty, students, and community partners in conducting research that addresses community-identified research needs. Student fellows receive summer stipends or are paid as researchers during the academic year. Ideally, students participating in this program will go on to apply for Haas fellowships or other undergraduate research grant opportunities.
The Haas Center has gathered and developed resources on campus-community partnerships for community-based research. Interested faculty and students may use these resources or meet with Haas staff for individual meetings and consultations.
The application process is faculty-initiated. Students and community partners are encouraged to contribute to the application writing process, but the faculty fellow is required to complete the application and submit it.
Submission deadline for the 2012 CBR Fellows Program is Friday, March 2, 2012 at 11:59 pm PST.
For more information, please contact Clayton Hurd, Director of Public Service Research in the Haas Center.
