Interested in learning more about how to successfully partner with universities and researchers so it actually benefits YOUR community?  Want to access grant dollars for your community to work with university faculty?
 
This workshop series is designed to provide information for how university faculty and neighborhood-level organizations and residents can work together to address community issues. This series aims to build the capacity of researchers and community stakeholders to create and maintain long-term, collaborative community partnerships in the St. Louis region.
 
Following the workshop series, attendees will be invited to apply for mini-grant opportunities for faculty-community partnerships through CWC and learn about other funding opportunities. 

Workshop sessions will be held virtually from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m.  Sessions 1 and 2 are required in order to attend sessions 3 and 4. A Zoom link will be sent before each session.

Participants will explore four guiding principles for university-community collaborations: being conscientious of the context in which a project occurs; clarifying incentives and expectations; striving to co-learn; and, continually checking-in and gaining consent. Session objectives are to:

• Understand power relations between community organizations, researchers, and funding agents.

• Recognize differences in incentives/expectations among academic and non-academic partners.

• Learn decision-making processes to foster project buy-in, ownership, and agency.

Registration Deadline: September 11th
